Carrier Aggregation for LTE-Advanced: Design Challenges of Terminals

[rmwambu]

This article addresses the radio frequency (RF) design challenges of terminals for carrier aggregation (CA). CA is one of the key features of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE), helping to [COLOR=#009900 !important]achieve[/COLOR] higher data rates by transmitting multiple carriers from or to the same terminal. In Release-10 of LTE, up to five carriers can be aggregated, each with a bandwidth of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz, thereby allowing for overall bandwidth of up to 100 MHz.
