Digital Down Converter for 5G systems

Abstract

The creation of 5G system designs is a current topic in VLSI and communication research. The designed architectures must be both operationally efficient and compliant with the 3GPP's proposed standards. A digital down converter is one of the main components of a 5G receiver. The intermediate frequency must be converted to baseband frequency by this unit. A few recent developments in this area are summarized in this publication.
