3 Description

The AFE7769 device is a high-performance,

multichannel transceiver, integrating four direct upconversion

transmitter chains, four direct downconversion

receiver chains, and two wideband RF

sampling digitizing auxiliary chains (feedback paths).

The high dynamic range of the transmitter and

receiver chains enables wireless base stations to

generate and receive 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G signals.

The low power dissipation and large channel

integration of the AFE7769 allows the device to

address the power and size constraints of 4G and 5G

massive MIMO base stations. The wideband and high

dynamic range feedback path can assist the Digital

Pre-Distortion (DPD) of the power amplifiers in the

transmitter chain. The fast SerDes speed can help

reduce the number of lanes required to transfer the

data in and out.
