| The second generation of a cellular communication standard offers voice and low speed data transfer. The need to add multimedia services at a very high-speed in wireless communication infrastructure has led to the development of the third generation such as UMTS and the fourth generation as Wimax. Local and personal wireless networks such as WLAN, Bluetooth and Zigbee have become very popular. And, since 2000, satellite navigation systems were developed to enable precise and reliable positions for users. European Union launched a new positioning system called Galileo and United States of America have upgraded their satellite navigation system (Brown et Rebeiz, 2000).;The work begins by understanding the principle of wireless communication and radio navigation systems that will be implemented in the transmitter and then by defining the specifications and requirements of each standard. The following step is to define new multistandard architectures. Then, an architecture is chosen to be evaluated.;Keywords: Transmitter, multistandard, radio frequency, wireless communication, radio navigation;This research is a part of a master degree in Electrical Engineering with thesis. This work is to design and implement a transmitter that supports wireless communication standards such as GSM, UMTS, Bluetooth, Zigbee, IEEE802.11b/g and Wimax generated by base stations and mobile stations. The transmitter also supports GPS and Galileo radio navigation signais. |
