Analog Devices’ RadioVerse® SoC Drives 5G Radio Efficiency and Performance
09 Dezember 2021 - 2:00PM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI) today announced a
breakthrough RadioVerse® System-on-Chip (SoC) series providing
radio unit (RU) developers with an agile and cost-effective
platform to create the most energy efficient 5G RUs in the
industry. The new SoC series provides advanced RF signal processing
with expanded digital functionality and RF capacity that greatly
improves 5G RU performance and energy efficiency. The SoCs are the
newest addition to ADI’s RadioVerse ecosystem and combine its
award-winning Zero IF (ZiF) architecture with significant advances
in functional integration and linearization. ADI’s RadioVerse
devices are the most widely used software-defined transceivers in
4G and 5G RUs worldwide.¹

“Samsung and ADI have long worked together to support the swift
deployment of 5G in the global market,” said Dong Geun Lee, Vice
President and Head of Hardware R&D Group, Network Business at
Samsung Electronics. “We are excited for the successful launch of
ADI’s new SoC, as we expect this cutting-edge technology will bring
better 5G experience to consumers. We look forward to expanding our
engagement with ADI.”
Demand for power efficient RUs is expanding rapidly as global
network operators race to deploy 5G infrastructure. With the
exponential growth of wireless demand, energy efficiency is a key
metric for operators as they seek to reduce their carbon footprint
while expanding network capacity. The new RadioVerse SoC series
requires very low power compared to alternatives and implements
advanced algorithms that deliver optimal RU system efficiency.
“RadioVerse SoCs are designed to optimize the full radio
solution rather than just a single component or interface,” said
Joe Barry, Vice President of Wireless Communications at Analog
Devices. “Each successive generation has provided expanded
capabilities, bandwidth and performance, while improving overall RU
efficiency. This new RadioVerse SoC series takes a big step forward
by delivering multiple advancements in signal processing to meet
the demanding needs of 5G.”
The ADRV9040 is the first in the new RadioVerse SoC series. It
offers eight transmit and receive channels of 400MHz bandwidth and
integrates advanced digital signal processing functions, including
carrier digital up-converters (CDUC), carrier digital
down-converters (CDDC), crest factor reduction (CFR) and digital
pre-distortion (DPD). This expanded signal processing can eliminate
the need for a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), thereby
reducing thermal footprint, and total system size, weight, power,
and cost. The SoC’s DPD algorithms were developed using advanced
machine learning techniques and are optimized in close
collaboration with major power amplifier (PA) vendors to ease the
design burden and deliver best-in-class wide bandwidth performance.
The algorithms are fully tested and validated across 4G and 5G use
cases, including various PA technology types such as gallium
nitride (GaN). In addition, the ZiF radio architecture simplifies
RF filtering and signal chain components, reducing RU cost and
development time for band and power variants designs.
