Ubidyne selects Jazz Semiconductor’s 0.18 micron SiGe BiCMOS process to develop pure digital radio system.
Jazz Semiconductor, a Tower Group Company and a leader in analogue intensive mixed signal (AIMS) foundry solutions, and Ubidyne, a provider of digital radio technology for the wireless industry, announced that Ubidyne has selected Jazz Semiconductor's 0.18 micron SiGe BiCMOS process for Ubidyne's universal micro radio, the world's first pure digital antenna embedded radio system for wireless communications. Ubidyne's patent pending technology significantly improves the operating economics of wireless networks, reducing energy consumption, enabling simple, flexible deployment, and increasing the coverage and capacity of mobile communications networks.

Ubidyne's universal digital micro radios offer the highest level of integration and radio performance by embedding directly into the antenna housing, eliminating the need for remote electrical tilt motors, large power amplifiers and bulky coaxial feeders. Ubidyne's patent pending technology enables an all digital distributed architecture comprised of unique algorithms and proprietary ASICs allowing for efficient, standards agnostic wideband transmission and reception. Ubidyne's micro radio enables mobile infrastructure equipment vendors worldwide to significantly improve performance, flexibility and coverage.

Jazz's 0.18-micron SiGe BiCMOS process offers high performance 0.18-micron SiGe bipolar and high quality passive elements combined with high density 0.18-micron CMOS for high-speed networking and millimetre wave applications. The process offers SiGe transistors with peak Ft of 155GHz and peak Fmax of 200GHz ideal for low power, high performance millimetre wave and OC-192 and OC-768 circuits. SBC18HXL comes standard with three bipolar (NPN) transistor types, 1.8 and 3.3 volt CMOS (dual gate), deep trench isolation, lateral and vertical PNP transistors, MIM capacitors, high performance varactors, poly-silicon as well as metal and Nwell resistors, high-Q inductors, a triple well option, and six layers of metal.

“We are revolutionising the industry with the development of a superior alternative to traditional radio platforms that is both cost effective and efficient,' said Mike Levis, COO of Ubidyne. “By utilising Jazz's SiGe BiCMOS process, we are able to significantly improve performance for our latest micro radio technology.”

“The analogue integration that Jazz provides enables customers like Ubidyne to offer higher performance, higher precision and more power efficient products than were previously possible,” said Chuck Fox, senior vice president of worldwide sales, Tower Semiconductor. “Jazz's SBC18H2 with 200GHz Ft/Fmax is providing a roadmap in the wireless market for even better next generation performance.”
