2. Wireless Connectivity Demands Causing Spectrum Congestion
Many more bands creating challenges in radio frequency planning
2
Harder to find a clean
frequency plan
More coexistence
challenges
Filtering increasingly
difficult
Higher linearity and dynamic
range requirements
3. ADI’s Approach to the Problem: Simplifying the Radio System
3
Drastically reduce the
complexity of RF design
Architect the radio to reduce or
eliminate external components
Minimize size, weight,
and power (SWaP)
Provide simple and
reliable software
4. Transceiver Technology
4
Simplifies radios by
providing versatility,
performance, and
reduces SWaP
