3GPP LTE Baseband Processor - The FourGee-3100

The FourGee-3100 is a 3GPP LTE baseband processor which supports LTE category 3 (CAT-3) throughputs (100Mbps/50Mbps DL/UL respectively).  The chip implements two 20MHz receive chains and one transmit chain, and is based on a proprietary, cutting edge O²P Software Defined Radio (SDR) processor.  Using O²P, the FourGee-3100 offers OFDMA-related signal processing capabilities which significantly exceed traditional communications DSP cores, yet consumes a fraction of the power.  The resulting processor draws extremely low current during operation and standby modes and is therefore ideal for operation in power-constraint applications.

The FourGee-3100 is suitable for integration in devices such as mobile handsets, data cards / dongles, consumer electronic devices and other embedded devices.  The processor’s modular architecture is optimized for operation in both single-mode LTE implementations as well as multi-mode LTE+3.5G implementations - where it functions as a co-processor to the main baseband processor.

The FourGee-3100 is complemented by an FDD RF transceiver (FourGee-6200) and a TDD RF transceiver (FourGee-6150).
