Pipeline A/D Converter Design for 5G OFDM Communications Systems

This paper presents the design of a 12-bit 1.5-bit/stage pipelined ADC for communications systems in MATLAB/Simulink. The model can be useful as a tool in the design of data converters. In addition is fully editable and capable to introduce as many non-idealities as the designer requires, reducing the design time. In this work, a new OFDM platform is proposed to evaluate the performance and effects of experimental analog-to-digital converters on the OFDM communication system.
