Foundation for 4G to 5G migration with expanded wireless technology and design ecosystem

Analog Devices latest update to its award-winning RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem, simplifies and accelerates radio development for wireless carriers and telecommunications equipment manufacturers as they transition their cellular base stations from 4G to 5G networks. Their expanded portfolio features new radio transceiver hardware, software tools, and a robust design environment that enables the smaller, lower power radios necessary in next generation networks. The new offering allows customers to quickly evaluate and develop radio designs for 4G small cell and Pre-5G massive MIMO systems, key building blocks in the transition to 5G, enabling faster data rates while improving connectivity and data throughput in densely populated, high-traffic areas such as office buildings, sport stadiums and public transit systems. Addressing radio design at the circuit, architecture, system and software levels, the updated RadioVerse release includes the AD9375 RF transceiver, the newest addition to the company’s highly integrated wideband RF transceiver series. The device is the first RF transceiver to incorporate the digital pre-distortion algorithm on-chip – a design breakthrough that reduces DPD power consumption by 90% compared to competing solutions.
