IMEC, Renesas, M4S launch reconfigurable multi-standard wireless transceivers
IMEC, Renesas Technology Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Renesas), and M4S jointly launched a complete transceiver with RF, baseband, and data converter circuits manufactured using a 40nm low-power CMOS process. This fully reconfigurable transceiver complies with various wireless standards and application requirements, and with the upcoming mobile broadband 3GPP-LTE standard.
The development trend of wireless communication terminals that can provide users with a large number of services anytime and anywhere has promoted the development of reconfigurable radios manufactured using deep sub-micron CMOS processes. In terms of the very flexible nature of the 3GPP-LTE standard itself, reconfigurable radio has become its most economical implementation. Moreover, the introduction of the standard will further accelerate the development of reconfigurable radios. The single-chip reconfigurable transceiver jointly developed by IMEC, Renesas and M4S meets the above requirements.
Flexible transceivers including analog-to-digital converters can be reconfigured for all channel software in the frequency range from 100MHz to 6GHz. At the same time, the RF carrier frequency, channel bandwidth, noise figure, linearity and filter characteristics retained by it can also meet the requirements of the communication standard used. In addition, it has the characteristics of high sensitivity, low phase noise and high linearity. According to the requirements of special standards, these features can be used to achieve lower power consumption. In SAW-less 3GPP-LTE-oriented operation, the flexible transceiver can also achieve low out-of-band noise. While achieving high performance and low power consumption for the various standards covered, the transceiver also integrates multi-standard programmability in a very small chip area (only 5 mm²). Therefore, it is competitive with current mobile devices, including single-mode wireless electrodes including mobile phones, smart phones, PDAs, PC cards, USB dongles, etc.
The next phase of IMEC's ​​"green radio" research plan will focus on further reducing material costs and energy consumption by continuing to study digitally excited SAW-less transceivers and high-efficiency transmitters.
Liesbet Van der Perre, Director of IMEC ’s Green Radio Program, said: “We are very pleased to work with our reconfigurable radio program partner Renesas and M4S to achieve low-cost, low-power and reproducible for the next generation of mobile broadband communications. A major achievement in the concept of configuring transceivers. We look forward to continuing to work with them to achieve a new generation of wireless. "
Nakagami Yoshihide, head of the analog technology department at Renesas Design and Development Division, said, "We are honored to help IMEC research projects achieve important milestones by developing innovative reconfigurable RF transceivers that use advanced CMOS technology. New RF products that support multiple communication standards including 3GPP-LTE lay the foundation. "
Ivo Vandeweerd, CEO of M4S, said: "We are very pleased to contribute to the research and development of IMEC's ​​outstanding 'green radio program', especially the reconfigurable RF transceiver. The device launched today is an excellent proof-of-concept device, It clearly embodies the potential of several innovative 40nm CMOS RF circuit concepts proposed by IMEC. Some inventions help to improve the competitiveness of RF products. We believe that they are the smallest in the world, have the lowest power consumption, and support multi-mode (2G / 3G / LTE) commercial RF transceivers. We look forward to continuing to work with IMEC to strengthen internal research and development to stay at the forefront of innovation. "
Note: At the International Solid-State Electronic Circuit Conference held this week, IMEC introduced ultra-low-power design and organic electronics for wireless communications and wireless sensor networks that have recently achieved major breakthroughs, as well as a large number of manuscripts, including 10 approved Publications and 6 kinds of tutorial materials and technical seminars. 
- Safelock Protection: Automatically shuts off power if errors are detected.
- LED Light Indicators: Displays if there are any issues with the GFCI or if it needs to be placed.
- Easy Installation: 2 Pole/3 Wire-Grounding with Wall Plate and pre-installed Mounting Screws. Install in as little as 15 minutes!
