NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) will demonstrate a component for a complete, mixed signal, Base Transceiver Station (BTS) radio at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2011) to be held June 5-10 in Baltimore, Maryland (booth #420). The NXP BTS transceiver component demonstrator fully supports the demanding requirements of leading-edge wireless air interface standards, such as LTE Advanced, and showcases NXP’s new and complete product portfolio.
Market Trends
- According to Cisco Visual Networking Index, global mobile data traffic will increase 26-fold between 2010 and 2015. Increasing mobile phone minutes and mobile data usage continues to transform and drive demand for wireless base transceiver stations.
- As the number of users and higher data usage requirements increase, higher capacity networks require the deployment of more BTS systems, resulting in more transmit and receive channels per BTS system and in increasing medium to small cell sizes. Cellular providers, municipalities across the globe, and wireless original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are pushing for higher system efficiencies. Next-generation BTS systems require and must leverage proven and innovative High Performance RF components to optimize cost, size and power efficiency.
Supporting Quote
Kees Schetters, director, wireless infrastructure, NXP Semiconductors, said, “This BTS radio component demonstrator will showcase NXP’s unique set of technologies ranging from RF/IF amplifiers to frequency synthesizers and IQ modulators to RF modules based on NXP’s proprietary QUBiC4 SiGe:C processes and industrial capabilities. This set of components finds its way in today’s multi standard base station platforms, as well as repeaters and point-to-point systems supporting next generation communication standards like LTE Advanced.
LTE 4x Increased Spectral Efficiency, 10x Users Per Cell
3GPP: “Spectral efficiency is increased by up to four-fold compared with UTRA, and improvements in architecture and signalling reduce round-trip latency. Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology should enable 10 times as many users per cell as 3GPP’s original W CDMA radio access technology.”
