The PCS1100 is part of Palma Ceia SemiDesign's innovative Wi-Fi 6E portfolio, designed to support and enhance the development of Wi-Fi 6 networks. Compliant with the IEEE 802.11ax specification, this RF transceiver is suitable for systems operating as either access points or stations. It's engineered to provide tri-band operations across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the additional 6 GHz band, thereby expanding its versatility in various applications.
The design supports up to four spatial streams with MU-MIMO capability, enhancing the device's data throughput to a peak of 4.2 Gbps, particularly useful for high-density venues like stadiums and public transport hubs. It optimizes power usage while maintaining excellent phase noise and linearity performance for both transmission and reception. Its design also supports multiple modulation schemes, including 1024-QAM, for superior signal quality.
On the hardware side, the PCS1100 employs a robust RF architecture with digital functions for calibration and signal path compensation, ensuring reliability across diverse conditions. The focused design promises ease of integration with existing systems via simple chip-to-chip connection mechanisms, making it a practical choice for designers seeking to advance their Wi-Fi 6 solutions without extensive re-engineering.
