This paper presents the latest system trends to overcome the increasing 5G demands based on a highly digitized Continuous-Time Bandpass \Sigma\Delta ADC. Different versions of the proposed solutions are presented with the latest architecture achieving up to 437 MHz bandwidth (BW), with power consump...
