The high hardware complexity of a massive MIMO base station, which requires hundreds of radio chains, makes it challenging to build commercially. One way to reduce the hardware complexity and power consumption of the receiver is to lower…

Analog Compute-in-Memory (CiM) accelerators use analog-digital converters (ADCs) to read the analog values that they compute. ADCs can consume significant energy and area, so architecture-level ADC decisions such as ADC resolution or number…
