Overview

The Mobile Phase Recovering Equalizer (MPRE) FPGA core combines Channel Equalization, Phase Recovery, and Symbol Slicing in a single module. The MPRE is ideal for medium-to-high data rate applications where range, power efficiency, and reliability in mobile channels are desired. Advanced, patent pending, signal processing in the MPRE provides robust and reliable QPSK demodulation in high Doppler and mobile multipath environments. Mobile multipath radio environments that are too harsh for broadband single-carrier QPSK reception can be used reliably with the MPRE.

The MPRE fits easily into the signal flow of most single-carrier demodulators with a minimal amount of configuration and supporting input signals.

Key features

  • 17-tap complex-arithmetic LMS Channel Equalizer with adaptation bandwidth and leakage rate control as well as independent coefficient hold and reset controls
  • VV4 Quasi-Coherent Demodulator for signal phase recovery and differential detection
  • Integrated Symbol Slicer provides demodulated soft-decision outputs
  • AGC output controls in proportional and up/dn format for constant-modulus and phase-locked processing
  • Phase-locked constellation output
  • Equalized signal output for FLL or other processing
  • Clock rates up to 200 MHz supported
  • Symbol rates up to 1/5 of clock rate

How a 16Gbps Multi-link, Multi-protocol SerDes PHY Can Transform Datacenter Connectivity

Increasingly, more of the focus on mobile has centered around cloud datacenters and the networking to get the data back and forth between these datacenters and the mobile device. Functions like voice recognition and mapping depend on the ability to split the functionality between the smartphone, for local processing like encryption and compression, and the back end, where a large number of servers can do the heavier lifting before returning the results.

One PHY, Zero Tradeoffs: Multi-Protocol PHY for Edge AI Interface Consolidation

The Cadence 10G multi-protocol PHY was architected to address this exact challenge. Designed to scale across multiple process nodes, it consolidates PCI Express (PCIe), USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and other interfaces into a single, compact, silicon-efficient block. What sets it apart is simultaneous multi-protocol support, which enables multiple data paths without duplicating hardware, requiring extra board connectors, or paying the area and power penalty of separate IP blocks.
