ADI and Marvell Demonstrate 5G Massive MIMO RF Unit Platform

Analog Devices and Marvell Technology announced the release of a next-generation 5G massive MIMO reference design platform supporting open radio access networks. Combining ADI's latest RadioVerse transceiver SoC with Marvell's OCTEON 10 Fusion 5G baseband processor, the industry's first 5nm 5G digital beamforming solution, significantly speeds up time-to-market for advanced mMIMO radios and products supporting O-RAN features .

At the same time, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 40%, and the size and weight can be reduced. OCTEON 10 Fusion baseband processor provides flexible L1 implementation, and enables hardware and software multiplexing between radio frequency units (RU) and distributed units (DU), thereby facilitating L1 segmentation among global operators in the next few years; RadioVerse SoC provides rich digital RF front-end functions, including field-proven DPD

The combination of the RadioVerse transceiver SoC and the OCTEON 10 Fusion processor supports the entire signal chain with unmatched RU system efficiency. The ADRV9040 RadioVerse transceiver SoC includes many digital features, including linearization algorithms to improve power amplifier efficiency and performance, and digital channel filters to reduce interface rates.

The OCTEON 10 Fusion 5G baseband processor has specially optimized accelerators to efficiently handle complex beamforming algorithms. At the same time, the processor also has a dedicated processor for low-PHY baseband, which can be set to a variety of O-RAN split 7.2x configurations.

Lansheng Technology said: "Marvell and ADI have cooperated to push mMIMO radio to a higher level. The combination of Marvell OCTEON 10 Fusion 5G baseband processor and ADI's leading RF transceiver technology provides OEMs with 5G open RF unit reference design, and Extending the capabilities and performance of next-generation mMIMO beamforming at the lowest possible power."
