Overview

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) techniques are being used more and more in recent and upcoming standards since they drastically outperform traditional SISO (Single Input Single Output) techniques in terms of maximum throughput and range. This gain results from an increased spectral efficiency, lowering the overall system costs.

A MMSE MIMO detector is an integral part of a MIMO receiver. The MMSE detector IP core offers high throughputs even on low-cost FPGAs and convinces with a low implementation complexity at the same time. Its flexibility at design-time and run-time makes it the ideal fit for all kinds of MIMP applications.

Key features

  • Adaptable to different transmitter/receiver antenna configurations (e.g., 2×2, 4×2 or 4×4).
  • Support for different modulation schemes at run-time (QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM)
  • QR decomposition included

Benefits

  • High throughput even on low-cost FPGAs (hundreds of Mbit/s)
  • Design-time configuration of throughput for optimal resource utilization
  • Low-power and low-complexity design
  • AXI4-Stream interface for simple integration
  • Consecutive MIMO symbols may have different modulations
  • Can be combined with further IP cores from the Creonic product portfolio.
  • Available for ASIC and FPGAs (AMD Xilinx, Intel)
  • Deliverable includes VHDL source code or synthesized netlist, VHDL testbench, and bit-accurate or floating point Matlab, C or C++ simulation model

Applications

  • WiFi (IEEE 802.11)
  • 3GPP LTE
  • HSPA+
  • Powerline communication (ITU G.9963, Homeplug AV2)
  • Internet access lines (G.993.5 alias G.vector with VDSL vectoring)
  • Further MIMO applications

What’s Included?

  • VHDL source code or netlist
  • HDL simulation model e.g. for Aldec’s Riviera-PRO
  • VHDL testbench
  • Bit-accurate Matlab, C or C++ simulation model
  • Comprehensive documentation

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.
