What is
WiSP?
WiSP is a broadband RF CMOS Platform
comprised of software-programmable
analog blocks and ultra high performance
I/O structures capable of implementing
arbitrary transfer functions and state
space relationships. The
technology is ultra broadband, spanning
multiple GHz of usable bandwidth, and is
implemented in generic low cost bulk
CMOS processes. Product
incarnations of this platform include
integrated Front End Modules (FEMs) for
LTE handsets and femtocells, Field
Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and
high performance / state of the art
components such as op-amps, mixers,
attenuators, and broadband programmable
filters.

Applications
End use applications of WiSP include a
wide variety of RF systems, including 4G
cellular
handsets, femtocells and
base stations,
WiFi,
Analog MIMO, medical ultrasound,
electronic power meter reading,
satellite, instrumentation, set-top-box
tuning, military radar, electronic
warfare, communications, etc.

Why WiSP?
Benefits of WiSP
WiSP delivers tremendous
size, cost, and power benefits over
traditional RF product architectures
that typically employ fixed frequency
and narrowband structures that lead to
redundancy and
inflexibility/incompatibility, bulging
footprints, power inefficiency and
higher BOM costs.
