Wireless infrastructure

Find design resources, interactive block diagrams and devices specific to wireless infrastructure applications

We take a system-level approach to wireless infrastructure & communications applications by offering a broad portfolio of wireless transceivers integrated with data converters, analog and digital functions. Our portfolio supports 2G-6G technology and Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) requirements. Applications like massive MIMO radios, remote radio units, small cells, repeaters, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and femtocells are supported. Furthermore, our transceivers can also be used in various Satcom end equipment, from communication payloads, to ground stations/gateway, and to modems in satcom user terminals. We support a large range of frequency bands including the 3GPP bands, MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) bands and emerging new bands for both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. Our transceivers have integrated digital predistortion (DPD) and crest-factor reduction (CFR) technology that greatly simplify system designs and improve system power efficiency, while supporting multiple bands in frequency- and time-division duplexing modes (FDD and TDD). With our high performance RF transceivers, you can design a wide range of wireless communications from ground to space.
