• Realtek Semiconductor Corp. has developed compact
  low-power CMOS RFIC transceiver for UWB
  applications.
• Realtek UWB CMOS RFIC Transceiver Features
• Compact design
• ncludes all essential and peripheral RF
  functions.
• Only external crystal and antenna needed to
  complete RF module for embedded and add-on
  applications.
• Small chip size
• UWB CMOS RFIC Transceiver achieves a die size
  five to twenty times smaller than WLAN devices.
• High data rates
• MBOA (Multi-Band OFDM Alliance)
  standard-compliant prototype system delivers
  480Mbps and provides data throughput more than
  ten times that of state-of-the-art WLAN systems
  such as IEEE 802.11a/b/g.
• Complete UWB solution on a single chip
• Implemented in standard CMOS logic process,
  enabling true single-chip UWB solution.
• Low power 100mW
• Consumes around 100 mW while delivering 480Mbps,
  providing energy-efficient wireless communication
  solutions.

• Staccato Communications develops true single-chip
  all-CMOS silicon fully integrated into complete
  module products to enable low cost, small form
  factor, low and efficient power consumption
  480Mbps Wireless USB connectivity.
• Single-chip CMOS design and packaging approach
  which absorbs critical RF interfaces as an
  integral part of the package mask set to reduce
  size and eliminate surface mount components.
• Fully integrated solutions for Wireless USB
  applications. Module features integrated RF
  transceiver, baseband, MAC, 32-bit RISC
  processor, memory, and I/O functionality based
  upon the MultiBand-OFDM specifications and
  WiMedia Convergence Architecture.
• Intended to simplify the design-in process and
  manufacturability, the small form factor module
  integrates low cost true single-chip silicon
  based upon advanced 0.13um all-CMOS architecture.
  
• UWB Module expected to sample in early 2005.
