First fully integrated mobile WiMAX transceiver

1 November 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Claimed to be the world's first fully integrated, high-performance WiMAX family of transceivers specifically for mobile and handheld applications, NXP's new 2,3-2,4 GHz UXF23480 device is designed for use within North America and Australia and its sibling, the 2,5-2,7 GHz UXF23460, for use throughout Taiwan, Japan, North America and Europe. Both are fully 802.16e-compliant. According to NXP this new family of WiMAX transceivers minimises the need for additional components, and combines low power consumption, a noise figure of less than three decibels, as well as high adjacent channel rejection. Some of the biggest challenges for WiMAX-enabled mobile devices are associated with handover from base station to base station. NXP says its high-quality solution is proven to offer seamless handover. In addition, the devices will work with a variety of basebands by utilising standard analog I/Q and serial interfacing and co-exists with cellular, WLAN and Bluetooth standards.
