ON Semiconductor Corporation is acquiring and licensing millimeter wave technology developed by IBM’s Haifa, Israel research team. ON Semiconductor will use the technology for automotive radar applications. The acquisition includes staff, equipment, research facilities and IP that will form a new design center for ON Semiconductor in Haifa.
MaxLinear announced a baseband system on chip (SoC) for broadband wireless transmission systems. The MxL85110 is a full duplex, single carrier, FDD modem that provides a comprehensive processing chain from the various user IP interfaces to the analog baseband signals, including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters.
Qorvo added three new solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) modules to the company's Spatium amplifier family: a 300 W SSPA covering 2 to 6 GHz, a 150 W SSPA covering 2 to 8 GHz and a 60 W unit covering 2 to 18 GHz.
Qorvo announced two dual-channel switch-LNA modules for base stations, covering 2.3 to 2.7 GHz and 1.8 to 4.2 GHz, respectively. Designed for TDD massive MIMO architectures, each channel integrates a T/R switch to connect the antenna to a two-stage LNA in receive mode or, in transmit, passes the signal from the PA to the antenna.
Skyworks Solutions announced eight, 4 W power amplifiers (PA) for outdoor and indoor small cell base stations, covering the most popular frequency bands from 700 to 3800 MHz.
