Bangalore: Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, has introduced RF-to-digital baseband transceivers designed to enable the IEEE 802.16d/e mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) standard for mobile communications devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and handheld multimedia devices.
It is said that the product is building on ADI’s AD9352 and AD9353 family of integrated WiMAX transceivers introduced in 2006, the AD9354 and AD9355 consume less power than other transceivers in their class and are available in a 20 percent smaller package, while adding an additional receiver path for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) support.
Thomas Gratzek, business director, Analog Devices, said, “By including on-chip data conversion and adding a second receiver signal chain to our transceiver architecture, Analog Devices is helping communications service providers extend WiMAX into the mobile marketplace. The AD9354 and AD9355 cover the key WiMAX frequency bands and are ideally suited for the small form factors in development.”
