This article describes the key mobile WiMAX IEEE 802.16e RF receiver requirements such as NF, P1dB, IP2, IP3, and dc settling time. Complete system simulations are also performed using matlab software to extract EVM in different conditions including pilot tracking loop for the purpose of high-data rate mobile WiMAX system design.

IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX is currently being developed as the next-generation communication standard competing with wireless local area network (WLAN), code division multiple access (CDMA), evolution data optimized (EVDO), enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) and high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), even though early applications for mobile...
