“Life goes wireless!” This motto for the 21st century is pushing the evolution of new wireless devices, which confirm to multiwireless standards and operate over multifrequency bands. This workshop will review current adaptivity design concepts for reconfigurable RF and analog base band integrated front-ends.In addition, it will present new Digital RF Processing (DRP) techniques for wireless transceivers,which move the radio reconfigurability concept to the digital domain.
