Wireless IC projects

Cambridge Consultants delivers innovative Application-Specific Integrated Circuit designs by combining wireless system expertise with advanced mixed-signal engineering and the very latest DSP and software radio techniques.

Our knowledge of implementing Radio Frequency circuits on CMOS enables cost-effective integration of wireless Systems on Chip (SoC) with processors, memory and peripherals.

Cambridge Consultants has designed wireless ICs for over a decade. We are successful at providing RF solutions that meet clients' product requirements. Our team possesses a breadth of experience capable of meeting IC design challenges ranging from the latest leading edge radio standards through to very low cost systems. Our highly integrated solutions combine high performance with low power. We approach RF design systematically and not as a black art, helping ensure that specification is met first time. Our low risk approach has delivered many successful projects on time and within budget.

Our wireless architects and IC designers are used to working with a wide diversity of radio standards and protocols including Bluetooth, ZigBee, WiFi, WiMax and UWB. We understand the global wireless spectrum and can determine the optimum solutions for operating in the Industrial, Scientific and Metering (ISM) bands. Our single chip radios for these standards operate at frequencies of 186, 433 and 900 MHz, 2.4 and 5 GHz and beyond. Where possible we work with standard high volume CMOS silicon technology, but if necessary we can design on SiGe or other RF capable processes.

We can reuse our CCLASIC silicon IP to reduce project timescales and risk. Examples of our RF CMOS IP include low noise amplifiers, mixers, image reject mixers, power amplifiers, up mixers, synthesisers, VCOs, pre-scalers and band pass filters. We also have high-performance DSP technology for software defined radio applications.

Most of all, it is our deep understanding and knowledge of wireless technology, propagation, antenna, modulation, channel modelling, coding schemes and protocols that differentiates our capability. Combining this competence with our excellence in engineering makes us the right partner for a wireless IC project.
