Infineon Technologies AG has announced tape-out of a dual-band UWB (Ultra-Wideband) Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver core. Based on the company's proven low-power CMOS process, this breakthrough paves the way toward fully integrated high-speed communications system-on-chip solutions optimized for mobile devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), camcorders, digital cameras and MP3 players. According to market analyst IMS Research, some 120 million mobile phones will be equipped with UWB in the year 2010 alone. UWB will add high-speed data transmission for multimedia applications to future cell phones, and accelerate convergence as well as mobility.



The dual-band UWB RF-CMOS transceiver core supports both the 3 GHz-to-5 GHz frequency band and the above-6 GHz band up to 9 GHz, as defined in the WiMedia band plan. It is ideally suited for both Certified Wireless USB and Bluetooth-over-WiMedia Ultra-Wideband systems, and will be an essential component for UWB system manufacturers to enable such applications as wireless video streaming, picture download and file transfer at speeds up to 480 Mbps. In addition to applications in mobile devices, the UWB RF-CMOS transceiver technology is also suitable for PCs, printers, DVD drives, TV sets, and other consumer electronic devices.
