In recent years, the field of mobile communications has been vastly growing due to the introduction of new detection techniques. However, the components of a modem were to a large extent treated seperately so far. Further components as, e.g., smart antennas were introduced recently. This additionally enhances the receiver complexity. Smart antennas can separate signals in space and transmit at higher data rates as well. It is the intention of this paper to show that the modem design process has to be reviewed in a really new and comprehensive way resulting in the development of smart modems.
