| Newport Media Samples the Lowest-Power Mobile Digital TV Receiver Newport Media has begun customer sampling of its Sundance H semiconductor and software solution for Digital Video Broadcasting-Handhelds (DVB-H) and high mobility Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) applications. The Sundance H solution will enable wireless handsets and mobile digital TV players with increased viewing time while simultaneously improving key performance metrics like sensitivity, channel switching time and interference immunity. The Sundance H system solution combines a quad-band, direct-conversion radio tuner, DVB-H demodulator and all memory required to receive up to eight simultaneous channels. Implemented using low-cost complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (.13mu CMOS) process technology, it has an extremely low 3.0 dB noise figure, which translates into extended coverage area with improved quality. Sundance H features the industry's lowest power consumption at 20mW, which is especially notable given the product's 10dB advantage in system linearity compared to the nearest competitor. The Sundance H also features 55dB of adjacent channel rejection and 110Hz Doppler frequency performance in 8K mode. Newport Media's Sundance H has an extremely low external bill-of-material count with no need for external memory, baluns or loop filters. In addition to DVB-H, the Sundance Series of mobile digital TV solutions address other popular air interface standards such as Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) and MediaFLO. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
