Abstract

The design trade-offs of transceiver hardware are crucial to the performance of wireless systems. In this paper, we present an in-depth study to characterize the surprisingly notable systemic impacts of low-pass filter (LPF) design, which is a small yet indispensable component used for shaping spectrum and rejecting interference. Using a bottom-up approach, we examine how signal-level distortions caused by the trade-off of LPF design propagate to the upper-layers of wireless communication, reshaping bit error patterns and degrading link performance of today's 802.11 systems. Moreover, we propose a novel algorithm that harnesses LPF defects for improving video streaming, which substantially enhances video quality in mobile environments.
