Advanced Transceiver Technology from Lime Microsystems and IQT
Lime Microsystems have today revealed a partnership agreement with the strategic investment firm In-Q-Tel. The partnership will enable advances in transceiver technology to be deployed in commercial and government markets, and the creation of state of the art systems that can be used across a diverse array of applications.
IQT'Lime is a leader in RF technologies and has produced the world's first commercial integrated transceiver that can be used across a wide range of frequencies as well as multiple standards, said Robert Ames, Senior Vice President of the Information and Communication Technologies practice at IQT. Lime is an ideal partner to help advance vital communication systems in the U.S. and beyond.
The LMS6002D is a fully integrated multi-band, multi-standard single-chip RF transceiver for 3GPP (WCDMA/HSPA and LTE), 3GPP2 (CDMA2000) and WiMAX applications. It can be digitally configured to operate in 16 user-selectable bandwidths up to 28MHz.
The company has also designed an FPGA based Universal Wireless Toolkit, which enables users to create and test all commonly used wireless systems.
In addition to femtocells, enterprise femtocells and picocells, the kit can be used to create repeaters, GNU radio and white space radio applications.
