ASIC success story
Application
CSS partnered with an innovative start-up that is developing a novel, integrated circuit for advanced antenna systems.
This device provides all-digital beamforming from sub-6 GHz to millimeter wave.
Compared to commercially available components, this device will provide higher precision and dynamic-range, lower cost, as well as lower power dissipation in a significantly smaller footprint.
