This book introduces a completely novel architecture that can
relax the trade-off existing today between noise, power and area
consumption in a very suitable solution for advanced wireless
communication systems. Through the combination of charge-domain
operation with incremental signaling, this architecture gives the
best of both worlds, providing the reduced area and high
portability of digital-intensive architectures with an improved
out-of-band noise performance given by intrinsic noise filtering
capabilities. Readers will be enabled to design higher
performance radio front-ends that consume less power and area,
especially with respect to the transmitter and power amplifier
designs, considered by many the “battery killers” on most mobile
devices.
