Abstract:

"RFMD's RF8900 is a GPS/A-GPS receiver baseband processor with novel decoding algorithms achieving 44,000 effective correlators. It is capable of working indoors and acquiring low sensitivity signals down to -157.5 dBm during acquisition and tracking. RF8900 takes in a single low-IF input from a GPS-RF front-end chip and supplies locaiton measurement data to the host processor. A serial UART interface allows for easy interfacing to modems on mobile handsets and other host applications. This chip is fabricated using RFMD™s 0.11 ?m CMOS tehcnology with 1.2 V supply, offering low power consumption and small package size. The RF8900 device, together with an RF front-end tuner chip make up RFMD™s low-cost, high-performance A-GPS/GPS solution"
