Abstract

The wireless telecommunication transceivers of both today and the future have to be broadband [1], low power [2], and adaptive [3]. Broad bandwidth supports the high data rates demanded by emerging applications. Adaptivity accommodates varying channel conditions and application requirements, while consuming as little energy as possible ensures long talk time on one battery charge.
