For the first time in memory, the industry is converging on a single
wireless standard to cover all high data-rate cellular and wide-area-network
needs - LTE. The emerging LTE standard is complex, requires extraordinary
computation throughput and much better power efficiency than previous
wireless baseband PHY subsystems. Because of the complexity, designers are
taking many different approaches to chip design for LTE.
This webinar explores five significant challenges faced by designers of
efficient digital basebands, including pitfalls in LTE's many modes,
excessive cost and power, the "million MIPS" hurdle of Turbo decoding, and
the dilemma of choosing the right communications among the LTE building
blocks. This webinar uses detailed examples from an end-to-end LTE PHY
baseband architecture to highlight the key dos and don'ts.
