1 Introduction

RF Transceivers are used to communicate data, voice, and video information over the wireless communication medium as electromagnetic waves. The transceivers are widely deployed in systems such as telecommunication (base stations), RADAR, aerospace research, ammunition, and so on. The next generation of wireless communication is setting a high-performance bar for wireless transceivers with tighter power constraints, which also increases the receivers complexity.

The increased complexity also demands higher configuration/bring-up time of these devices since a large number of blocks has to be properly programmed to function as expected. The Bring-Up Time of the transceiver is very critical, especially in ammunition-related deployments. This is because the transceiver needs to engage and has to transmit or receive data within milliseconds of the launch of the weapon for real-time processing of the trajectory which is very crucial.
