Single Chip Reconfigurable Wireless Transceiver
Researchers from a research organization in Belgium have partnered with researchers in Japan to develop a single-chip reconfigurable multi-standard wireless transceiver in 40 nm low-power CMOS. The transmitter is capable of reaching low out-of-band noise, targeting SAW-less 3GPP-LTE operation, and the receiver is software configurable across all channels in the frequency bands between 100 MHz and 6 GH. The transceiver is compatible with various wireless standards to include the upcoming mobile broadband 3GPP-LTE standard, as well as integrates into single mode radios in mobile devices via a 5 mm chip. A future goal is to reduce energy consumption and the amount and cost of materials by putting research efforts toward digitally-inspired SAX-less transceivers and power efficient transmitters.
