ZTE Corp. has elected to employ NetLogic Microsystems’ digital front-end (DFE) processors for its RRU8882 remote radio unit (RRU) platform for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) common-platform basestations. Addressing challenging LTE requirements, the DFE processors provide as much as a five-times increase in signal bandwidth and up to a nine-times increase in instantaneous bandwidth over comparable topologies. Additionally, the devices report an 80% better transmit-power efficiency. The RRU8882 frequency-division duplexing (FDD) platform supports multi-standard LTE, UMTS, GSM, and mixed-mode combinations of each. A software-defined radio (SDR) platform, it integrates two transmit paths, two main receive paths, and two additional diversity receive paths. Integrated SDR capability enables programming and customizing of different modulations, standards, and spectrum allocation through software or firmware.
