DSP core moves toward 5G-Advanced
The CEVA-XC20 DSP architecture boosts computing power and reduces energy consumption through vector threading.
Low-power PLL generates mmWave radar signals
This week, at the 2023 International Solid-State Circuits Conference, imec presents a novel digitally calibrated charge-pump (CP) phase-locked loop (PLL) that can generate high-quality frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals for mmWave radars at low power consumption. The novel PLL is a critical building block for future short-range automotive (in-cabin and out-of-cabin) and industrial (e.g., on-cobot sensing)…

Synchronizer keeps 5G networks on time
The Zyntai network time synchronizer from Net Insight picks up where precision-time servers leave off. Without timing and synchronization, networks would simply not run; data would never arrive at its destination. That’s where network timing products come in. At MWC 2023, Swedish network equipment vendor Net Insight will demonstrate Zyntai, its latest network synchronizer. EE…
