LTE Channel Estimation IP core
Overview
hellaPHY® CE is the industry’s most advanced LTE channel estimation IP core. Upgrading your receiver to hellaPHY® CE allows for optimal LTE PHY performance. In many cases, hellaPHY® CE increases the operational modulation-coding-set (MCS) by one or more levels. This increases spectral efciency by up to 60% and beyond. The hellaPHY® CE IP Core is a mix of exible software and low-power optimized hardware accelerators. With its carefully crafted interface, hellaPHY® CE is ready to be integrated into your design today with minimal effort.
