The Wireless Dilemma—Adding Features Without Sacrificing Cost, Standby, and Talk Time by Adelante Technologies
As next-generation mobile phones evolve from supporting only voice transmission to the transmission of audio, images, and video, substantial baseband processing power will be required to handle the increased digital transmission, reception, compression and decompression of substantially larger data streams. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and High-Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) use multiple time slots, which are processed in parallel to increase the data rate. They increase baseband processing alone by a factor of eight, and they are becoming standard features in today's mobile phones.
Adelante Technologies, the result of a merger between Philips-DSP Division and Frontier Design, a leading DSP IP and EDA vendor, is currently developing DSP solutions that solve these challenges. Adelante's Galaxic™ DSP Technology provides digital signal processing solutions that allow performance to be radically accelerated while maintaining ultra high performance and minimal silicon area.

Taking Wireless Networking to the Next Performance Plateau
The proliferation of wireless networking in the office, at home, and in public spaces has generated considerable interest in the technology's potential for driving seemingly ever-higher transmission speeds.
Techniques to Enhance Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Performance
There is no doubt that the acceptance and deployment of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) products is permeating many different markets -from enterprises to homes to public 'hot spots.' Once deployed, WLANs allow users the freedom to be mobile while enjoying the benefits of a high-speed broadband Internet connection.
Serial Transceiver Control for Infrared Transceivers
Serial Transceiver Control (STC) is the new method of interfacing the transceiver to the controller (this protocol has no relation to the RS-232 serial protocol), developed by Infrared Data Association (IrDA). Agilent Technologies' new transceiver, HSDL-3210, a low power 1 Mbps MIR IrDA transceiver implements this new protocol.
Antenna Solutions for 2.4 GHz Bluetooth and 802.11b/g Wireless Applications
This application note is for designers, developers and manufacturers of mobile and wireless products. More specifically, it is intended for Bluetoothı and Wi-Fi module manufacturers and designers who are in need of antenna solutions for end products such as cellular phones, PDAs and laptops. Whether your focus is on 802.11 or Bluetooth protocols, the enclosed data will provide a 2.4 GHz antenna solution that addresses size, performance and cost of wireless devices (see Appendices for additional data).
Thermal Considerations for Power Amplifiers
Proper heatsinking to control junction temperature is an extremely important consideration for use of all power amplifiers. For example, Gallium Arsenide and Silicon have different temperature tolerances and thermal conductivity relationships. This application note will help clarify the important factors you need to know about to minimize thermal problems in power amplifiers.
