Analog Devices has released the ADRV9022, an agile radio-frequency transceiver designed for cellular infrastructure like 5G base stations. This hardware is now available for deployment in macro and small-cell systems.
Why it matters
The transceiver supports the hardware requirements of massive MIMO base stations by integrating digital predistortion to improve signal efficiency. This launch addresses the demand for high-bandwidth, power-efficient components in modern cellular network deployments.
The device features a 24.33 Gbps JESD204C digital interface and a 450 MHz synthesis bandwidth. It maintains an RF operating range of 10 MHz to 6.1 GHz with 200 MHz of maximum large-signal bandwidth across four transmitters and four receivers.
The players
Analog Devices
A semiconductor company specializing in high-performance analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing hardware for industrial and communications infrastructure.
The details
The ADRV9022 utilizes digital predistortion, a signal processing technique that compensates for power-amplifier non-linearities, to improve signal clarity and reduce power waste. It also incorporates crest-factor reduction to manage the high peak-to-average power ratios common in modern waveforms. The chip supports multichip phase synchronization, allowing developers to scale the component across complex massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) arrays, which use numerous antennas to increase data capacity.
