Abstract
In this paper we present a novel application of perfect reconstruction PR nonmaximally decimated NMD filter banks whose assembly gives life to compact digital up converter and digital down converter for combined Third Generation Partnership Protocol Long Term Evolution radios and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System radios which are Wideband Code Division Multiple Access based The design of the PR NMD analysis–synthesis chains in both transmit downlink and receive uplink has been optimized to maximize the performance according to the specific application scenario In the receive uplink an 80path 40to1 PR NMD polyphase down converter channelizer accomplishes the preprocessing task of decomposing the whole input frequency range and of aliasing all the spectral fragments to baseband while reducing the signal sample rate A selector block is in charge of connecting the ports which contain the fragments belonging to the same band to a proper PR 2toN up converter channelizer which synthesizes them in baseband The dual architecture composed of small Nto2 polyphase down converters followed by an 80path 2to40 up converter has been designed for the transmit downlink The down converters accomplish the preprocessing task of decomposing the input spectra and of simultaneously aliasing their fragments to baseband while reducing the input sample rate to 768 Msps The 80path 1to40 up converter accomplishes the task of recombining the spectral fragments at the desired center frequencies while increasing the signal sample rate to 3072 Msps
