Codecs, subsystems address portables' power
"Portable" and "audio" have been synonymous since the first transistor radio became commercially available in the 1950s.

RFMD ships 2G transmit module for emerging market handsets
RF Micro Devices announced that it is shipping its RF3283CR, a GSM/GPRS transmit module (TxM) optimized for GSM900/DCS1800 (2G) handsets.

Qualcomm chip doubles computing power of Snapdragon
Qualcomm announced a new dual-CPU Snapdragon single-chip solution, extending the reach of the Snapdragon platform by targeting more advanced mobile computing devices.

Sandbridge delivers software reprogrammable 4G baseband processor for Smartphones
Addressing the need to cut cost, real estate, and time-to-market for 4G multi-mode smartphones, Sandbridge Technologies unveiled its SB3500 flexible baseband processor.

Cisco invests $200 million in Aggregation Router to future-proof video delivery at edge
After four years and an investment of $200 million, Cisco's ASR 9000 is ready to handle today's video traffic challenges at the edge, as well as those expected in the future.

Smart MEMS ease mobile apps
Kionix intros smart inertial micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer signal orientation with embedded algorithms in low-power device.

National Semiconductor targets base station receivers with new ADC and DVGA
National Semiconductor reports that it has the industry's best linearity with its new high-speed, 16-Bit ADC and DVGA for multi-carrier GSM base stations.

Switching mobile bands simplified
Peregrine Semiconductor's digitally tunable capacitor arrays can match a mobile devices antenna to and band, as well as dynamically compensate for environmental factors.

PicoChip targets femtocell 'sniffer' opportunity
Wireless chip specialist picoChip Designs Ltd (Bath, England) has released three reference designs for femtocells that deals with one of the major problems and concerns surrounding the emerging technology.

MEMS device switches among RF sources
Electronic switching of high-frequency signals currently must be handled by either mechanical switches or reed relays. Now, MEMS switches can do the same job in a smaller package, according to Omron Corp.

National samples 10-bit, 1 GSPS signal path solution
National Semiconductor has added a 2.5 GHz fully differential amplifier and a 10-bit, 2 GSPS single/1 GSPS dual A/D converter to its PowerWise family of energy-efficient products.

Video buffer unlocks extra battery life in mobile video products
STMicroelectronics' video buffer IC combines low operating current standby power for longer recharge intervals in portable consumer devices.

Freescale reboots basestation DSPs, leapfrogs TI
Freescale today announced the MSC8156, a wireless base station DSP boasting 6 GHz of performance. Compared to its predecessor, the MSC8156 offers three times the performance and a much lower bill-of-materials (BOM).

MEMS Against EMI
SiTime announced a new family of electromagnetic interference (EMI) solutions that use spread-spectrum microelectromechanical system (MEMS) clock oscillators that modulate the center frequency of a system clock to bring faulty prototypes with into electromagnetic compliance without costly redesigns.

GaAs pHEMT MMIC LNAs target wireless broadband
Hittite Microwave Corporation has introduced three new SMT packaged GaAs pHEMT MMIC low noise amplifiers (LNAs) which are ideal for automotive, broadband, cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G and fixed wireless applications from 2.1 to 6 GHz.
