Argo Semiconductors SA, Metanoia Communications Inc. (Metanoia) and NXP® Semiconductors ( www.nxp.com , NASDAQ: NXPI) proudly present their revolutionary integrated 5G digital antenna for Sub-6GHz frequencies. Metanoia, ArgoSemi, and NXD present a revolutionary digital antenna unit operating in the sub-6 GHz band, incorporating digital processing to transmit signals in the air.
This implementation is supported by the power amplifier (PA) A5M36TG140-TC as well as the Layerscape® Access LA1200 Radio Software of NXP, the RF IC Sub-6GHz of Metanoia and ArgoSemi’s innovative 2D printed antenna (AS04xx product range). The proposed implementation for fifth-generation radios (5G) provides significant savings in size, weight and power (SWaP) as well as reduced cost, but power consumption for both MIMO and massive-MIMO applications.
The prototype is optimized for external use of CBRS 4T4R in private networks and MNO development extensions, easily adaptable to other RF zones and future variations with a common PCB footprint. This digital antenna unit features the first in its class of cooling from the top side due to NXP power amplifiers, opening up new markets for O-RAN equipment manufacturers. By simplifying the design and reducing the cost of materials and manufacturing complexity with the aim of making it quickly available on the market, adds Jeff Steinheider, vice president and general manager of NXP.
