New Delhi . The central government is going to develop a technology for highspeed and ultralow latency 5G services. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Saturday said the department has signed an agreement with Linearized Amplifier Technology Services and Vedang Radio Tech.
Center for Development of Telematics (CDOT), Linearized Amplifier Technology Services and Vedang Radio Tech have entered into a partnership to develop 'Millimeter Wave Power Amplifier Chips IP Core for 5G FR2'.
With this agreement, the organizations are looking to strengthen India's ability to produce and maintain cutting edge solutions globally.
“This will give a boost to cuttingedge research and infrastructure and will also seamlessly integrate with the National Semiconductor Mission, a key component of PM Narendra Modi's MakeinIndia initiative,” the communications ministry said in a statement.
These power amplifiers are essential for IP core standalone transceiver chips and also serve as building blocks in large phased array systems. They are designed for beamforming systems that rely on overtheair power combining.
The objective of this project is to develop mmwave power amplifier IP core for 5G FR2 frequency bands (26 GHz and 47 GHz) using commercial foundry services.
By using 5G FR2 frequency bands, substantial bandwidth can be provided at millimeter wave frequencies, which is critical for the highspeed and ultralow latency services required in 5G.
Under this project, standard process design kits will be used in the design and hardware validation process to produce industryready IP cores.
Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO, CDOT, emphasized the contribution of the department towards indigenous development of telecom products and solutions.
