NTR Junior Member Offline Posts: 11	circuit engineer vs system level engineer Dec 19^th, 2011, 5:20am Hi, can any one explain what to be extracted from system level simulations of RF front end(LNA,mixer) .what kind of parameters will be expected by circuit designer from guy doing system level simulation. Thank you for your time

hello,
from the system level specification you will have derive what is total NF, linearity and etc requirements, then you have to decide how you have to budget among LNA, MIXER, another blocks. Please read some basic RF book, probably you get all system level specifications in the following book

VLSI for Wireless Communication by Bosco Leung
Thanks,

Probably forgetting something, but thats the short list
