Overview

The Zaltys High Data Rate Demodulator (HDRM-D) and the Zaltys Enhanced High Data Rate Demodulator (HDRM-D2) IP cores efficiently realize the digital baseband section of a high performance modem receive path, including quasi-zero IF to baseband conversion, sample decimation, symbol timing recovery, and carrier recovery.

The Zaltys High Data Rate Demodulator (HDRM-D) IP core can demodulate BPSK, QPSK, offset-QPSK (OQPSK), 8PSK and 16QAM modulation schemes, all to a high performance level and at high symbol rates. The demodulator is highly flexible, supporting continuously variable software-selectable symbol rates of between 4.9kbaud and 40Mbaud, when operating with a fixed 100MHz system/ADC clock rate.

The Zaltys Enhanced High Data Rate Demodulator (HDRMD2) IP core can additionally demodulate 8QAM (3 shapes), 32/64QAM &16/32APSK, and contains an adaptive equaliser to reduce linear channel distortion such as multipath. It also offers the option of increased datapath resolution to help cope with elevated levels of adjacent carrier interference.

Three Major Inflection Points for Sourcing Bluetooth Intellectual Property

Synopsys is now shipping support for Bluetooth® 5.4, the latest specification from the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group). The enhancements in Bluetooth 5.4 will open additional markets and use cases. This is one of the many inflection points in the Bluetooth Low Energy market that will be discussed in this paper.

Part 2: Opening the 5G Radio Interface

Carriers are now deploying 5G across the globe driven by the need to keep up with relentless mobile data growth. 5G New Radio (NR) operates at higher frequencies to increase bandwidth, but at the expense of range. There will therefore be a need for a much larger number of 5G RUs to provide the same coverage. The availability of cost-effective, reliable and open 5G radio units is therefore critical.

An Integrated, Tunable RF Filter: an Enabler for Reconfigurable Front-Ends

This paper presents the design and performance of a key RF circuit necessary for the realization of a reconfigurable, integrated RF front-end: a tunable frequency, selectable bandwidth, on-chip, “SAW replacement” filter. The on-die tunable filter presented here has a tunable center frequency up to 1 GHz, a selectable bandwidth up to 40 MHz, and an adjacent channel rejection down to 60 dB.

Design considerations for integrated CMOS receivers

To meet the demands for the multi-band, multi-mode wireless standards in the current market, a highly integrated wireless receiver (RX) is desired. CMOS technology has become the technology of choice for the integrated receiver design.

Silicon IP for Programmable Baseband Processing

An efficient IP reuse strategy relies on IP blocks with wide applicability. That makes generic blocks, such as programmable processors preferable. However, in many applications such as handheld wireless terminals, additional silicon area and power consumption compared to fixed function solutions can not be accepted.
