NXP Semiconductors introduces the industry's most highly integrated RF solution

NXP Semiconductors announced one of the industry's most highly integrated portfolios of RF solutions for 5G cellular infrastructure, industrial and commercial markets. Leveraging its extensive experience, breakthrough research and development, world-class manufacturing capabilities and global reach, NXP has built a comprehensive solution that easily meets the 5G RF power amplification needs of today's base stations - from MIMO to massive MIMO-based active antenna systems for cellular and millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum bands.

In addition, NXP's radio power solutions support smaller, lighter active antenna systems, which simplifies large-scale MIMO deployment, and NXP's Radio frequency Power Multi-chip modules (MCMS) provide the highest level of integration and performance available on the market. With solutions ranging from sub-6 GHz to 40 GHz and from milliwatts to kilowatts, NXP further simplifies 5G infrastructure, allowing partners to rapidly develop systems and join the 5G ecosystem.

Paul Hart, senior vice president and general manager of NXP Radio Power Solutions, said: "5G has the potential to transform the entire industry and economic landscape as 5G evolves and eventually becomes fully realized, and NXP is uniquely positioned to deliver one of the industry's most comprehensive cellular infrastructure portfolios dedicated to driving a 5G connected world, driving global adoption of 5G." Today, as the world's top provider of massive MIMO solutions, NXP is ahead of the demand curve with solutions that enable operators to deliver more bandwidth to their customers."

A recognized leader in wireless infrastructure, NXP helped complete many of the world's first RF deployments in 5G for sub-6 GHz mMIMO and the first MMwave networks. At the heart of NXP's success lie three key benefits of its radio power solutions:

● Smart antenna solutions, including highly integrated analog beamforming products in the frequency range of 24 to 40 GHz, use NXP SiGe technology for 5G millimeter wave infrastructure. With these solutions, customers are able to build 5G millimeter wave phased array antenna systems that meet future demands and provide customers with significant bandwidth in FWA and RAN applications.

● Integrate efficient power solutions to provide leading 5G mMIMO and IC products for base stations in all sub-6 GHz cellular bands.

● Discrete high-power RF transistors for 4G and 5G MIMO cell base stations, and a full range of GaN RF and LDMOS RF power solutions for industrial, scientific & Medical (ISM), broadcast, RF energy, mobile radio, and aerospace & defense applications.

As the only company offering RF and transceiver solutions across the full range of 5G network deployments from below 6 GHz to millimeter wave, NXP has established hardware and software partnerships with key multi-system operators (Msos) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to quickly bring 5G superconnected systems to market.
