A multiband LTE SAW-less modulator with −160dBc/Hz RX-band noise in 40nm LP CMOS
TL;DR: In FDD cellular standards, the transmitter's out of-band noise leaks into the receive band due to the finite duplexer TX to RX isolation if this noise is not low enough, a SAW filter is needed before the Power Amplifier to preserve the RX sensitivity.
