International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R) has specified a set of requirements for 4G standards, named the International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT-Advanced) specification and LTE-Advanced is officially IMT-Advanced compliant and backward compatible with LTE. LTE (Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced have been selected by most of mobile operators in the world as the evolution of their cellular networks and LTE-Advanced 3GPP Release 11 specification version V11.8.0 was recently released in March 2014. In this full project, an LTE-Advanced RF transceiver will be developed for 3GPP Releases 10 and 11 with data rates up to 300/100 Mbps (downlink/uplink). The transceiver will support worldwide frequency bands from 450 MHz to 3.8 GHz covering major countries/regions such as Mainland China/Hong Kong, US, Europe, Japan, Australia and UK. Key areas in LTE-Advanced RF transceiver design and implementation, such as carrier aggregation, advanced Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), envelope tracking (ET), and wideband reconfigurable RF front-end design will be developed. Two tapeouts have been planned to produce silicon proven IPs. LTE-Advanced RF transceiver chip, reference design, patent and IPs will be delivered as the achievements of this project and this project will greatly help Hong Kong to set up a technology leading role in the region, and create a competitive edge for local IC design houses, wireless broadband solution vendors, OEM and ODM manufacturers.
