Unplugged. Radio communication Higher frequency communication systems are one of today's growth markets. One factor is the increasing demand for point-to-point or pointto-multipoint radio links within the backbone of the 2G and 3G cellular networks. The other is the still booming LNB market with its transition to bidirectional systems. The basic block diagrams of a radio link and a bidirectional VSAT system are very similar, with the receive path the same as in today's LNBs. Here NEC can call on its expertise as world market leader for low-noise FETs. NEC is in the unique position of being able to offer three different technologies - silicon, SiGe and GaAs - to meet customer needs. Products range from discrete BJT Si transistors, through OSC and Si MMIC gain blocks and ultra-low-noise GaAs HJFET for up to 24 GHz, to state-of-the-art 13 GHz SiGe prescalers.

Today cellular phones are mass market products, with new services like GPS, digital satellite radio and digital broadcast terrestrial TV (DBTV) poised to become so. GPS is breaking out of the narrow box of professional and military applications into the consumer market, while digital satellite radio and DBTV services are already starting to gain momentum. For these growing and emerging markets, NEC offers a wide range of devices. In the field of GPS systems, our offering includes SiGe transistors, low- and high-gain SiGe MMICs for the LNA stage, and RF receiver ICs with an integrated A/D converter. We also offer low-noise HJ-FET and SiGe transistors to meet the exacting requirements of digital satellite radio systems with respect to noise. The DBTV product line-up includes Si discretes and MMICs for the receive path as well as components for set-top boxes.

Many people are probably unaware of how much these technologies have become part of everyday life. Cordless phones are used routinely, while new technologies like Bluetooth and WLAN are rapidly gaining acceptance. Because these two-way communication technologies are defined for the consumer market, cost is the main factor driving new development. NEC offers a wide range of LNA, PA and switching devices for DECT, Bluetooth and WLAN designs. For LNA applications, NEC offers various discrete devices from low-cost Si bipolar transistors through higher-performance SiGe HBT transistors to lowest-noise HJ-FET transistors, especially for 802.11a systems. Customers can choose from discrete Si and SiGe transistors and GaAs MMICs for different PA requirements. The switches cover the full spectrum from a low-power CMOS SPDT to high-power GaAs SP3T and high-power 6 GHz DPDT components. There is also a choice of singleand dual-control voltage devices.

Wireless remote control facilitates routine tasks like opening gates and shutting windows; it makes wireless metering and fire alarm systems possible, and in the automotive sector there are applications like remote keyless entry and tire pressure monitoring. Wireless control devices have established themselves as cost-efficient and robust solutions for a broad range of control applications. This is a steadily growing market and NEC offers a wide choice of devices for different solutions. These include discrete Si or SiGe transistors and CMOS switches for low-cost ISM band applications, like door openers or two-way data transmission systems, and low-noise HJ-FET or SiGe transistors that can be used in 10 GHz and 24 GHz radar sensors. NEC is also working on higher integrated solutions and on devices that offer improved performance.

These applications are basically very similar but there are specific requirements that have to be met in each area. The output power of a licensefree PMR446 system is limited to 0.5 W and its features are tuned to the needs of the private user. By contrast, the PMR system addresses the mobile communication needs of professional users - including police forces, safety services, customs, utilities, transportation, airports and commercial security services. The requirements of INMARSAT or DVBT applications are quite similar to those of PMR systems, except for the cellular networks and the frequency bands. NEC offers a wide range of products for these applications - from low-noise transistors through wide-band gain blocks, mixers and switches to a large range of power transistors. NEC's mid-power GaAs and LDMOS product families, in particular, target private radio communication markets, including VHF and UHF portable/land mobile telephony, Inmarsat, DVBT and mobile base stations.
