NXP Launches Low-Power Mobile WiMAX Transceiver
NXP has announced an integrated, high-performance WiMAX family of transceivers for mobile and handheld applications. The 2.3 - 2.4 GHz UXF23480 designed and the 2.5 - 2.7 GHz UXF23460 for use throughout Taiwan, Japan, North America and Europe are both fully 802.16e compliant and deliver significant benefits, enabling robust terminal designs.
The family of NXP WiMAX transceivers minimizes the need for additional components, reducing design time and speeding up time to market. Combining low power consumption, a noise figure of less than three decibels, as well as high adjacent channel rejection, NXP's high-performance ICs deliver significant benefits to mobile, nomadic and fixed wireless access (FWA) equipment.
Some of the biggest challenges for WiMAX-enabled mobile devices are associated with handover from base station to base station. NXP has developed a high-quality solution which is proven to offer seamless handover. In addition the UXF23480/60 is an interoperable solution which will work with a variety of basebands by utilizing standard analog I/Q and serial interfacing and co-exists with cellular, WLAN and Bluetooth standards.
The UXF23480/60 is in volume production and is available immediately.

WiMAX for mobile devices
For mobile and handheld applications such as phones, PCMCIA cards, laptops, and PDAs, NXP offers the Download PDF File UXF234xx family, a set of fully integrated, low-power, dual-conversion WiMAX transceivers that enable easy, robust, and reliable broadband communications.
Fabricated using a silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS process, the transceivers provide ultra-low noise and high dynamic range combined with high linearity.
The transceivers keep power consumption to a minimum. Operating from a 2.8-V supply in OFDMA format, the ICs consume only 133 mA in receive mode and only 145 mA in transmit mode.
The transceivers interface to various baseband ICs via a generic analog I/Q interface and co-exist with cellular, WLAN, and Bluetooth standards. Housed in standard HVQFN packages and requiring only a minimum of external components, they save space and reduce cost while meeting TTA and FCC requirements.
In addition to the UXF234xx family, NXP also offers 802.16e WiMAX solutions for basestations.
