Chipset boosts basestation receiver
bandwidth
Two-chip IF receiver improves the data bandwidth and capacity of next-generation multicarrier wireless basestations compatible with emerging 3G cellular transmission standards.
Analog Devices has introduced a two-chip IF (intermediate frequency) receiver solution that dramatically improves the data bandwidth and capacity of next-generation, multicarrier wireless basestations compatible with emerging 3G cellular transmission standards Analog Devices' dual-channel AD8376 VGA (variable gain amplifier) and AD6655 IF diversity receiver solution replaces 48 discrete components, enabling 3G micro- and picocell basestations with dramatically reduced power consumption and physical volume
