First one-chip multiband WCDMA/EDGE transceiver

22 February 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Infineon Technologies is sampling what it says is the world's first one-chip, six-band WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) and quad-band EDGE (enhanced data GSM evolution) solution. Based on the proven architecture of the company's SMARTi PM, a quad-band GSM/EDGE transceiver, and the SMARTi 3G, a six-band WCDMA transceiver with HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) capabilities, the new SMARTi 3GE chip measures just 6 x 6 mm². SMARTi3 GE handles quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and currently defined WCDMA bands I through VI. For emerging data applications, the SMARTi 3GE chip offers data rates as high as 7,2 Mbps in WCDMA downlink by supporting the HSDPA protocol category 8.
