Wireless technology development requires a combination of innovative design and judicious reuse of existing Intellectual Property (IP).
Cambridge Consultants has invested in an extensive portfolio of proven wireless intellectual property that includes:
An extensive library of RF, analogue and digital building blocks for use in ASICs, structured ASICs, ASSPs and SoCs etc.
We hold IP in a wide range of radio architectures. For example, through our early investment in the ZigBee radio standard, we developed a single chip radio architecture to implement this exciting new mesh networking technology. Subsequently licensed to Ember Corporation, the architecture provides Ember with a fast, low risk route to a ‘complete system solution’.
Using our Bluetooth software stack, we have produced xIDE
for Interface Express, a complete software development
kit (SDK) for developing powerful single-chip Bluetooth applications.
The toolkit is provided with a large library of qualified
Bluetooth Profiles.
Our MATLAB-based WiMax OFDM256 PHY reference design and testbench supports the 802.16-2004 standard, and has been used to validate WiMax PHY implementations. It is currently being updated for the 802.16e SOFDMA 'mobile' standard. Our IP includes robust algorithms for synchronisation and equalisation, channel modelling and estimation. It can generate and analyse test vectors for supporting hardware developments.
Our proprietary radio solution represents the very latest advances in ultra-low power radio for a wide range of ultra-low power applications, both within and outside the body. Whilst being extremely cost effective, the radio is nevertheless capable of performance consistent with high integrity medical applications. The architecture is also scalable, offering an excellent trade-off between power and data-rate.
Cambridge Consultants Cordless Telephony Access point Reference Design is a small 55mm by 38mm board providing an entire CTP demonstrator solution. The core of the demonstrator is a Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) BlueCore2 external device, which operates to provide the entire Bluetooth stack and application software, including all product behaviour from control of the tone generation for dialling, to hook switch operation.
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) still offers an unmatched quality of wireless service, offering high-quality voice and data, a range of up to 300m, low battery power consumption, and seamless hand-over between base-stations for mobility. We have added our proprietary interference-avoiding technology onto our DECT protocol stack to optimise it for use at 2.4GHz, and have also customised it to work at different frequencies and data rates.
