Features

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The PM8870 WiZIRD 722 is an ultra-integrated tri-band WiMAX Zero Intermediate Frequency (ZIF) Radio Device. It is designed for Fixed and Mobile WiMAX applications and supports both IEEE 802.16-2004 and IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard requirements. It has two independent radio paths (2Tx and 2Rx) and supports operation in the 450 - 928 MHz, 2.3 - 2.9 GHz, or 3.3 - 3.8 GHz licensed bands.

The PM8870 WiZIRD 722 enables manufacturers of network interface cards, hand-held devices, CPE, low-cost PICO, and Femto BS to build low-cost, high-performance, 2x2 MIMO equipment.

ULTRA-INTEGRATION

Integration of key transmit and receive path components dramatically reduces the cost of materials and manufacturing, at the same time improving system reliability.

The PM8870 WiZIRD 722 features:

  • Two independent radio paths (2Tx and 2Rx) supporting all Wave 2 MIMO features and enabling the radio path for uplink MIMO enhancements
  • Zero-IF architecture removes the cost associated with external SAW filters
  • Integrated DCXO supports AFC with no additional components, except for low-cost 26 MHz or 40 MHz crystal
  • Integrated synthesizer loop filter improves noise immunity and reduces board space requirements
  • Standard analog I/Q Interface
  • Integrated Rx DC offset compensation, digital temperature monitor, and transmit baluns for 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

Design flexibility is essential for equipment manufacturers, allowing them to react and adapt to changes in market requirements with minimal changes.

For flexibility, the PM8870 WiZIRD 722 includes:

  • Multi-band support for operation in the 450 - 928 MHz, 2.3 - 2.9 GHz or 3.3 - 3.8 GHz licensed bands, enabling system designs that are suitable for use across multiple geographies and roaming applications
  • HFDD and TDD support for OFDM based broadband wireless technology and compatibility with different worldwide channel assignments.
  • Configurable channel bandwidths of 3.5 MHz, 5 MHz, 7 MHz, 8.75 MHz, 10 MHz, 14 MHz, and 20 MHz
  • Programmable transmitter gain control for mobile applications

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

PMC-Sierra has supplied and supported high performance semiconductor solutions to the communications industry for over a decade. The same performance philosophy applies to our WiMAX products.
