北京2021年3月26日 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI)今日推出一款基于ASIC的無線電平臺，該平臺針對符合O-RAN規范的5G無線電單元而設計，旨在縮短上市時間，并滿足5G網絡不斷發展的需求。O-RAN生態系統使用開放標準來分解傳統網絡，支持跨運營商網絡的更大靈活性和更多功能。

ADI的無線電平臺包含O-RAN兼容5G無線電單元所需的所有核心功能，包括基帶ASIC、軟件定義收發器、信號處理和電源。這款先進的無線電平臺旨在顯著提升性能和改進外形尺寸，以應對下一代網絡將面臨的功耗和成本方面的嚴峻挑戰，同時縮短客戶的設計周期。 

ADI公司無線通信事業部副總裁Joe Barry表示：“O-RAN采用開放標準重新構思網絡結構，希望以此打破傳統市場，而這需要全面創新的射頻解決方案。ADI的創新O-RAN解決方案為5G應用提供了性能優化的無線電平臺，標志著生態系統向前邁出了一大步。”

O-RAN將逐步消除進入壁壘，為當前和新興的無線供應商提供新的契機。ADI直接與生態系統參與者交互合作，以優化總體系統效率，確保互操作性，進一步提升行業技術水平。 

“向市場推出low-PHY基帶ASIC讓我們向O-RAN邁進了一大步。現在，原始設備制造商在打造有競爭力的宏蜂窩和小蜂窩的系統上有了清晰的路徑”，沃達豐集團（Vodafone Group）的O-RAN RF和數字平臺開發經理Andy Dunkin表示，“正是這樣的舉措有助于構建健康的生態系統 ”。

ADI公司的平臺有助于無線電設計人員和制造商針對宏蜂窩和小蜂窩解決方案優化總體系統性能。設計人員借助參考設計，采用以下各項產品方案即可創建符合O-RAN規范的無線電單元：

• ADI的下一代收發器具有先進的數字前端信號處理(DFE)，支持GaN PA的數字預失真、波峰因子降低(CFR)，以及通道數字上變頻器和通道數字下變頻器等功能組件。
• Low-PHY基帶ASIC，可針對LTE、5G和NB-IoT提供符合7.2x要求的解決方案，包含IEEE1588高精度時間同步協議和eCPRI接口。
• 完整的時鐘和電源鏈解決方案。

Parallel Wireless公司首席執行官Steve Papa表示：“為消除O-RAN生態系統的進入壁壘，ADI公司一直努力為眾多無線供應商提供全新級別的支持，我們為此深受鼓舞。這款解決方案將會加速Option 7.2功能劃分的標準化，簡化互操作性集成。”

各技術評估平臺將于今年晚些時候面世。
