Implementation of a Digital IF Transceiver for SDR-Based WiMAX Base Station

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview This paper presents the implementation and performance of a Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology-based-Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) transceiver for IEEE 802.16d standard, often referred to as a WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) base station. The implemented Digital IF transceiver is reconfigurable to three bandwidth profiles: 1.75MHz, 3.5MHz, and 7MHz each incorporating the IEEE 802.16d WiMAX standard. This transceiver can be reconfigured to other WiMAX profiles through software downloaded onto identical hardware platforms, without changing any components or parts on board. Experimental results are presented that show the performance of the designed Digital IF transceiver using an undersampling scheme, which is closely related to the sampling clock jitter characteristics.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Chips in everything

In this case, it is a small radio transceiver that is inert until energised by a radio beam of a given frequency. The next phase already has some manufacturers embedding RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags in their goods.

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessquite a challenge.

IBM XIV® Storage System: Power Consumption Reinvented

Reducing power consumption is one of the most significant challenges of IT centers today. With storage needs on a steep rise, it is increasingly clear that new approaches must be explored. This IBM whitepaper shows how, on average, a traditional storage system using mirroring effectively uses less than 21% of its raw capacity, and an XIV system uses approximately 46% of its raw capacity.

3 Strategies for Reducing IT Support Costs

As companies brace for more bumps in the economic downturn, many organisations are indiscriminately cutting costs. To ensure a seamless transition into the post-recession market, however, slashing and burning is not recommended. Now is the time to strategically trim and strengthen for success. This IDC White Paper explores 3 tangible areas that IT departments should investigate to help strategise cost reduction during the downturn. Download the White Paper to learn: -- Why IT utilisation, end-user support and maintenance budgets are the most strategic areas to investigate -- How to effectively approach cost-saving measures within these areas while maintaining IT performance -- Tools and services the IDC recommends for achieving maximum cost savings and efficiency
