Orca Systems' breakthrough DSP-RF™ platform is a novel wireless transceiver architecture that solves the challenges of development complexity, cost, power consumption and performance of RF and mixed signal designs in sub-micron CMOS process technology. 

DSP-RF™ Technology

The DSP-RF™ platform is based on Orca's innovative digital receiver architecture and open-loop frequency synthesizer. These innovations enable the implementation of RF and mixed signal radios using digital circuits in standard CMOS. The result is a 4X reduction in silicon area, ultra-low power consumption and industry leading radio performance.

DSP-RF™ Benefits

performance High Performance: DSP-RF™ is suitable for any advanced communication system requiring low noise figure, high dynamic range and high interference rejection.
smaller Low Cost: DSP-RF™ yields a 4X reduction in silicon area using standard CMOS process technology. Additionally, DSP-RF™ scales when migrating designs to smaller CMOS process nodes.
power Low Power: DSP-RF™ relies on multiple approaches to establish ultra low power including efficient sampling and filtering techniques, a reliance on low core voltages, and an unique transmitter design using efficient saturated PAs.
flexibility Design Flexibility: DSP-RF™ is suitable for any standard CMOS process node. Its small silicon footprint significantly simplifies layout integration for customer SoC programs. Additionally, the self contained AGC and fast AFC of DSP-RF™ simplifies the interface with customer baseband IP.
