Abstract :
A 3 times 3 MIMO baseband and MAC processor in 0.18 mum 6M CMOS occupies 62.1 mm2 and dissipates (Tx/Rx) 1379/1200mW at 1.8V including ADCs, DACs, and PCI/PCIe PHY. The integrated BB and MAC delivers up to 300Mb/s in 40MHz bandwidth, greater than 150Mb/s TCP throughput best case and a maximum range of 700ft range.
