QUALCOMM Launches radioOne ZIF Dedicated High-Band Solution for CDMA2000
Date(s): 5/12/2004 7:32:00 AM
- Cost-Optimized RFR6135 Receiver Supports KPCS, PCS and IMT Bands
SAN DIEGO, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated
(Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today announced a fully
integrated radioOne(TM) Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF) solution
for CDMA2000(R) 1X and 1xEV-DO in the Korean PCS (1800 MHz), PCS
(1900 MHz) and IMT (2100 MHz) frequency bands. QUALCOMM's latest
radioOne chip, the RFR6135(TM) receive RF chip, works with
QUALCOMM's RFT6100(TM) transmit chip to provide a dedicated RF
solution that allows wireless manufacturers to optimize their
handset designs to address high-band market requirements. This
cost-competitive solution increases design options for wireless
manufacturers by providing maximum flexibility in component
selection and inventory management.
The initial product offering will include the MSM6500(TM) Mobile
Station Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) chipset and system software, the
RFR6135 and the RFT6100 RF devices and QUALCOMM's powerOne(TM)
PM6650(TM) power management device chipset. The complete MSM6500
system solution will provide dedicated high-band capability
including mode support for CDMA2000 and QUALCOMM's gpsOne(TM)
solution, the world's most broadly deployed assisted-GPS handset
technology. QUALCOMM's newest radioOne device, the RFR6135 chip,
is a cost-effective RF receive solution that integrates a GPS
receiver, low-noise amplifiers (LNA), and a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO) and phase locked loop (PLL) for further space-
saving advantages and simplification of the radio design. The
RFR6135 and RFT6100 RF devices provide a dedicated high-band, dual
mode solution that reduces board area by optimizing package size.
The RFR6135 chip is offered in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin Quad Flat No-
Lead (48QFN) package. Samples of the RFR6135 are expected to ship
in the second calendar quarter of 2004.
QUALCOMM's radioOne ZIF architecture eliminates the need for
intermediate frequency components. With radioOne technology,
QUALCOMM's MSM chipsets require less printed-circuit-board area
than previous generations and reduce time-to-market development
and bill-of-materials (BOM) costs.<<snip>> |
