"We are pleased to partner with Lattice Semiconductor to offer a low cost, low power integrated RRH platform," said Shane Flint, Founder and CEO of Affarii. "Lattice has responded to the needs of our mutual wireless infrastructure customers who are interested in using industry leading FPGA/DSP processing solutions."
"Our partnership with Affarii has yielded an RRH solution that will dramatically reduce cost and power for wireless infrastructure manufacturers," said Ron Warner, Lattice's Marketing Manager for Wireless Infrastructure. "By working with Affarii, Lattice continues to deliver on our commitment to provide our customers with innovative, proven solutions that meet the industry's demands for low cost and low power."
All features of this RRH solution, both hardware and soft IP, are fully integrated and supported by Lattice's latest generation of design tools.
About the Affarii RRH Solution
The RRH solution is built using Affarii's digitalTRX technology that includes Digital Up/Down Converter (DUC/DDC), Crest Factor Reduction (CFR) and Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) functionality. When used with industry standard Doherty amplifiers the Digital Pre-distortion solution provides up to 30dB of ACLR correction with PA output efficiencies exceeding 40%, allowing flexible and efficient RRH designs. The solution is fully customizable, with end applications including WCDMA, LTE, WiMAX, and DVB-T/S/H.
The RRH solution is supported by a development and test environment that includes GUI-based design simulation, performance analysis and a production test API with design examples.
