3G+ Baseband Prototype System Implementation Part 3 of 3
This is the third and final article in a series focusing on how enhancements in second- and third-generation serial RapidIO devices can improve 3G+ baseband processing. The first article in this series discussed how serial RapidIO serves as the foundation of the baseband system. The second article detailed how second- and third-generation devices provide additional proprietary features to further enhance 3G+ baseband performance and function.

Techniques for Handling Increased Functionality and MIMO Requirements in Shrinking Platforms
The need to enhance functionality for wireless devices such as smartphones and data cards has driven engineers to develop circuitry with higher levels of integration to help reduce device size and cost. The multiple air interfaces supported by many of these devices often require diversity or MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) configurations.
