Hi,

   I am reading the book RF microelectronics, and comparing the homodyne and heterodyne receivers. Both of them have the advantages and disadvantages. Because the homodyne can achieve the monolithic integration and avoid the 50 Ohm match between the internal blocks in the RF front-end, personally I think homodyne could be more popular in modern wireless communication system.
   Are homodyne receivers dominating the modern wireless communication systems? If so, does it mean the DC offset and the I/Q mismatch could be reduce in the digital signal processing, and they are not serious problems now?
   I try to find some articles which can compare the heterodyne and homodyne while list the application in the modern wireless communication systems, but I could not find the papers to describe that.
   Could anybody give me some further information beyond the book?
   Thank you.
   Regards,
