Kit Overview

The RF module for BSC913X-based development platforms can enable all major frequency bands worldwide, including LTE-FDD/TDD and WCDMA (HSPA+) air interfaces. The module features 13 dBm output power at the antenna as well as a low-band Tx/Rx (700 MHz to 1 GHz) and a high-band Tx/Rx (1.5–2.7 GHz) in a 2x2 MIMO configuration. The design utilizes a 3G/4G transceiver chip and is enhanced by our low-noise amplifiers and power amplifiers for maximum stability, accuracy and efficiency.

The RF module is designed for small cell applications with a JESD207 and a MaxPHY interface to the BSC913X SoC. As an integral part of our development platform it enables home eNodeB development by wireless infrastructure OEMs. The RF module is designed to support 2x2 MIMO operation in addition to dual frequency bands via software selection. These dual frequency bands are configured as high and low bands - the low ranging from 700 MHz to 1000 MHz and the high from 1700 MHz to 2700 MHz. The module includes two transmit outputs and two receiver inputs for each frequency band, allowing support for 2x2 LTE and 3GPP WCDMA (HSPA+) transmission and reception.

Freescale’s linear GaAs HBT power amplifiers and GaAs E-pHEMT low noise amplifiers complete the Tx/Rx signal path. The MMZ09312BMMZ09312B and MMZ25332BMMZ25332B are two-stage high efficiency, class AB amplifiers suitable for all air interface standards. Excellent receiver sensitivity is provided by the MML09211H MML09211H and MML20211H MML20211H low noise amplifiers. These power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers provide frequency coverage over all UMTS frequency bands (Bands 1-14).

Key Applications: Wireless infrastructure: 32-user eNodeB femtocell base stations, Radio communications systems, Test equipment: Network simulators for 3G and 4G technologies
