"Sirenza's engineering group collaborated closely with SIRIUS on the radio development," stated Richard Bay-Ramyon, strategic business unit director of broadband and consumer products at Sirenza Microdevices. "The leading edge RF performance of Sirenza's receiver IC along with it low power consumption and wide dynamic range make it ideal for portable satellite radio applications."
The S520077, 2.3 GHz RF receiver features:
-- Low noise amplifier with automatic gain control
-- PLL synthesizer and reference oscillator
-- High dynamic range, single conversion mixer
-- Multiple IF outputs with 100dB overall gain control
-- Programmable power levels for optimal battery life
The receiver operates with a broad range of RF input power levels. This wide dynamic range allows the radio to provide enhanced satellite signal reception in the presence of interfering signals.
"The S520077, utilizing IBM's advanced silicon germanium semiconductor process technology, is one of the most highly integrated RF ICs developed to date by Sirenza," stated Robert Van Buskirk, president and CEO of Sirenza Microdevices. "Sirenza's design and production capabilities support an increasing customer demand for higher levels of RF component integration. This new product is a good example of Sirenza's ability to provide leading edge RF components with relatively short design cycles for a wide range of consumer applications."
