Silicon Interfaces Introduces 802.11 a,b and g IEEE Standard WLAN Base Band Processor Intellectual Property
CAMPBELL, Calif., November 07, 2005 - Silicon Interfaces, a high-end design services and leading provider for IP’s in Europe, USA and Japan, under their IP Development Program - Silicon Cores: Core to the Intelligent Systems™, today introduced 802.11 a/b and g, WLAN Base Band Processor intellectual property (IP). The SI25WLANBBP10, 802.11 a/b and g WLAN Base Band Processor IP adds to the portfolio of Silicon Interfaces IP’s.
Silicon Interfaces’ BBP core for Wireless LAN is compatible with 802.11 a b and g IEEE standards. It is designed to handle packetized DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) and OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) data transmissions. BBP is a PHY entity for an OFDM and DSSS, aimed for data transfer rates upto 54 Mbps at the unlicensed frequency range of 2.4 and 5 GHz.
“The sensitivity as well as multi-path tolerance of this BBP is among the best in the industry”, Mr. Srinivasan, the Chief Engineering Consultant at Silicon Interfaces said
SI25WLANBBP10 - 802.11 a/b and g, WLAN Base Band Processor Highlights:
- Fully Compliant to IEEE 802.11a,b and g; PHY layer functions and frames.
- Interfaces with most existing RF.
- Data rates up to 11 Mbit/sec (802.11b) and 54 Mbit/sec (802.11a and 802.11g).
- It is based on the Fast Fourier transform (FFT) concept, which allows the multiple subcarriers to overlap yet maintain their integrity.
- High throughput data rates are achieved in OFDM due to precise carrier spacing and exact amplitude and phase settings for each individual carrier constellation.
- Forward Error Correction coding to improve the data reliability.
- Optimized for Low Power Consumption
- Optimum hardware-software partitioning for reduced gate count as well as lower MIPS requirements.
