| Cost Effective Digital Radio Processing Solutions Using New Spartan-DSP and Virtex-5 SXT |
|
Overview:
Lower power and lower cost are critical for next generation digital radio systems. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are pressured to reduce capital expenses (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX). While CAPEX focuses on equipment cost, OPEX can have a stronger impact on costs since it is directly related to the cost of electricity required to run the system. To address power requirements, OEMs are focusing on the power amplifier efficiency. Traditional systems use many off the shelf ASSPs/ASICs to implement digital pre-distortion and crest factor reduction, reducing the amplifier's power needs.
OEMs are also faced with multiple standards such as CDMA2000 (For NA, Japan, Korea), UMTS (EMEA, US, Japan and China), TD-SCDMA (China), WiMAX/WiBRO (broadband wireless access) and emerging LTE (long term evolution of 3G).
Xilinx solutions attack these issues by providing system flexibility, increasing system integration and reducing chip count. As a result, they deliver lower CAPEX and OPEX while providing higher system reliability.
In this webcast you will learn how the XtremeDSP™ silicon portfolio including the new Spartan™-DSP and Virtex™-5 SXT platforms offer DSP-optimized platforms for digital radio development needs. Combining Xilinx DSP development software and radio reference designs, IP and leading edge silicon, these solutions shorten development times and reduce risk all while providing lower power and lower cost radios.
In this webcast, attendees will learn:
- About Xilinx digital radio processing solutions
- How Xilinx XtremeDSP™ silicon portfolio can provide lower power and lower cost radios
Who should attend:
- ASIC and FPGA engineers
- System architects
- Engineering or technical managers
- Board designers and test engineers
