Renesas Showcases Full RF Solution for 5G with AMD at Mobile World Congress

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced plans to showcase a full RF front end solution for 5G Active Antenna Systems (AAS) radios in collaboration with AMD. Paired with the field-proven AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Digital Front End OpenRAN Radio (O-RU) Reference Design, the RF front end includes RF switches, low-noise amplifiers and pre-drivers. It offers a complete solution to meet the demand of the growing mobile network infrastructure market. The reference platform will be demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 27 – March 2 at the AMD booth (#2M61 Hall 2). The new 5G design platform integrates all the essential RF and digital front-end hardware for base stations operating in the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) ecosystem. This includes a high-isolation multi-throw DPD (Digital Pre-Distortion) switch, a high-gain and linearity pre-driver in a compact package, an integrated switch and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with input signal coupling functionality. This full RF front end platform is designed to efficiently process and transmit data to wireless networks with optimized power levels. Moreover, it has been integrated with the AMD RFSoC DFE ZCU670 Evaluation Kit for quick prototyping and rapid development of wireless network systems. The platform offers superior RF performance, while minimizing...
