What’s next in EDGE Front-Ends
EDGE—Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution
This 2.5G technology is part of the evolution of the GSM standard and enables
data transmission rates in excess of 100 Kbps. Designers and manufacturers of
EDGE-enabled handsets face the ongoing challenges of improving time to market (TTM)
and lowering the cost of implementation (COI), while providing the benefits of feature rich
devices. As with most emerging standards, the relatively small number of manufacturers
as compared to the previous generation is indicative of the complexity of the devices.
While optimizing for stringent, 8-PSK requirements, the EDGE market demands that
GMSK efficiency remains on par with that seen in GPRS handsets. Additionally, 8PSK
efficiency is quickly becoming a priority parameter as we see applications that require
higher data rates becoming more prevalent and more test and calibration steps are
being added through development and production. Last but not least, the lack of EDGE
market maturity has also led to a variety of transmit architectural approaches (linear and
large signal polar modulation).
These demands are brought about by the need to support both EDGE only and 3G multi-
mode handsets. Even when the transmit architecture is the same, the RF front-end
requirements are different, as well as output power and transmit switch performance,
to name two prominent parameters. Furthermore, top original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) and network operators are raising the performance bar by placing demands of
total radiated power (TRP) and specific absorption rate (SAR) compliance simultaneously
with demands for maintaining or improving talk time.
This evolving market is constantly bringing forward new, complex challenges in the
EDGE front-end space. These are the challenges that require leading-edge technologies
and techniques in order to deliver the types of quality front-end solutions our customers
have come to expect from RFMD.
The requirements and priorities of OEMs and original design manufacturers (ODMs)
in this demanding market vary depending on experience, resources and their chosen
vectors of differentiation. RFMD focuses on addressing the variety of customer and
carrier priorities by offering a segmented portfolio of GSM/GPRS front-end products.
