Overview
| Information | Integrated Quad RF Transceiver with Dual Feedback Receivers |
|---|
The MxL1600 is a family of highly integrated and low power consumption multi-port radio frequency (RF) transceivers for wireless infrastructure radios. Their powerful combination of high integration, ultra-low power dissipation, high performance, and software-defined programmability make them optimal solutions for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G macro, massive Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO), and small cell radio platforms.
The MxL1600 family integrates four transmitters (Tx), four receivers (Rx), and up to two feedback receivers (FBRX). They are tunable to operate over a frequency range from 380 to 6000MHz. Each Rx is configurable to support wide signal bandwidths of up to 400MHz. Each Tx and FBRX is configurable to support wider signal bandwidths up to 850MHz to facilitate digital pre-distortion algorithms.
The MxL1600 series software defined bandwidth and tuning flexibility is power-efficiently delivered using a direct conversion RF architecture. This architecture is underpinned by integrated digital radio processing functions and low-noise, on-chip local oscillators (LO). An optional external LO input is available.
The MxL1600 supports a JESD204 system interface, programmable to operate in either JESD204B or JESD204C mode with lane rates up to 32Gbps.
The MxL1600 has an embedded microcontroller sub-system that simplifies configuration, calibration, and management of the device.
The MxL1600 family are pin and software compatible with the MxL1500 series. Users can alternatively choose the MxL1500 for radios which do not support Multi-RAT GSM.
