48 PRODUCTS Three-way resistive power splitter operates over DC to 7 GHz International Manufacturing Services (IMS) has announced the release of two 3-W threeway resistive power splitters. Designated IPS2480 and IPS2481, the power splitters feature a planar architecture and are ideal for use in RF and microwave applications. These power splitters are designed for microstrip or wirebond implementation in continuous 50 Ohm impedance environments. The IMS 3-way resistive power splitters deliver 9.5 dB evenly split attenuation and operate over the DC to 7 GHz range with ±0.7 dB amplitude ﬂatness and a maximum VSWR of 1.3:1. www.mwee.com/210700046 Mobile WiMax SoC for a range of basestations Meeting the cost constraints of a femto environment, while scaling one solution to pico and micro base stations was a challenge eluding system manufacturers and service providers. Fujitsu’s mobile WiMAX base station SoC targets all three base-station platforms with a single device, enabling system manufacturers to leverage a single core solution across several small base station platforms. The SoC can be designed into femto base stations for indoor applications; into pico stations for indoor or outdoor applications by service providers or enterprise networks; and into micro base stations for outdoor use by service providers. The Fujitsu SoC incorporates all PHY and MAC features, analog and digital radio control, and analog circuits required to conform to Wave 2. A dual-integrated ARM core at up to 360 MHz provides the processing power at a femto base station. For larger platforms, an additional processor can be connected by means of a PCI host interface for more throughput and a bigger user base. The SoC provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, along with a DDR-II and ﬂash memory interface and a full range of peripherals including UART, DMAC, timer, GPIO, SPI, I2C, low-speed ADC/DACs and a network synchronization interface. The power requirements are approximately 2 W, typically enabling a full femto base station to operate on less than 10 W. www.mwee.com/210700013 Microwave Engineering Europe ● October 2008 ● www.mwee.com 048_MWEE.indd 48 6/10/08 19:47:47 http://www.mwee.com/210700046 http://www.nardamicrowave.com/west http://www.nardamicrowave.com/west http://www.mwee.com/210700013 http://www.mwee.com
