124 Y. Neuvo, CTO Nokia mobile phones during ISSCC 2004 plenary presentation.

125 Classical link budget and cascade analysis focus on performance only (e.g., neglecting power or energy cost) and do not take into account the statistical relevance of a particular configuration. These are two important extensions we introduced to establish a performance-cost tradeoff and to prune irrelevant configurations.
- 3.
126 Based on IMEC internal study (B. Côme, W. Eberle, and J. Van Driessche) derived from commercially available state-of-the-art PA specifications.
- 4.
127 Besides applying the right metrics, a challenge is also obtaining performance/cost models at a fairly high abstraction level. However, modeling is here also often misunderstood: we do not need a model that accurately describes the operation of a single transistor or gate. We need a model that captures a particular transaction or operation, often on the average or for a best and a worst case. The goal is not absolute accuracy but an improvement compared to the fact where we have no upfront model at all to take design decisions.
- 5.
128 An example for such a model is given in Fig. 6.14 for the case of a nonlinear amplifier. The model can initially be based on measurements (e.g., represented in table form), it can be approximated, or of analytical nature.
- 6.
129 Small-office/home-office.
- 7.
130 The remaining eight scenarios were very similar to some of the other 16. The scenarios can be traced back to the original scenario in Table 6.1 by the desired goodput (graph in the middle) and the applied power limit (graph at the bottom).
- 8.
131 A 15-m coverage may seem a low value for a 16-dBm PA; however, this graph does not show the feasibility of achieving a certain goodput sometimes but requests achieving this rate at a probability of 95% under statistical channel conditions. It can be seen that plain nonstatistical considerations overestimate actual achievable goodput.
- 9.
132 Assumptions for a car battery: 40 Ah; GSM battery: 1.05 Ah; and laptop battery: 3.0 Ah. For 1,200 mW, this is 400, 2.5, and 30 h, respectively.
- 10.
134 Error-free throughput.
- 11.
135 A fully scalable design of a transmit chain except for the power amplifier is ongoing at IMEC.
- 12.
136 To a lesser extent, also class-AB stages are used in practice.
- 13.
137 In collaboration with the ELEC department at the VUB, Brussels.

139 The exceptional case refers to placing the antenna only a few centimeters away from a large horizontal metal plate; this is a situation that can appear when, e.g., placing a phone, handheld, or laptop device on a metal table, on a metal file or shelf, or on a table under a metal shelf.
