Ceva and LG Electronics Accelerate UWB Adoption for Vehicle, Industrial and Consumer SoCs
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
Ceva and LG Electronics will provide an integrated UWB solution for next-generation vehicle, industrial and consumer product development.
The solution consists of Ceva-Waves UWB baseband IP and software and UWB RF technology from LG Electronics' SoC Center, and the LG Electronics technology supports TSMC's 22nm process.
Ceva said it will provide a silicon-ready platform based on the combined solution to support customers' SoC integration of UWB and the development process.
Ceva is working with LG Electronics to provide an integrated ultra-wideband (UWB) solution for next-generation vehicle, industrial and consumer product development for semiconductor companies and OEMs.
The solution consists of Ceva-Waves UWB baseband IP and software, together with UWB RF technology developed by LG Electronics' SoC Center. LG Electronics' UWB RF technology supports TSMC's 22nm process.
Based on the combined solution, Ceva is offering a "silicon-ready" platform. The platform supports integration of UWB functionality into customers' SoCs and features complementary technologies.
Ceva said the platform can reduce customers' engineering burden, lower technical risk in the integration process, and accelerate the development of differentiated UWB-enabled SoCs.
The Ceva-Waves UWB architecture supports the latest IEEE 802.15.4ab standard while maintaining low-power operation and resistance to radio interference, and delivering top-level ranging performance. It also delivers this performance in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environments, where an obstacle prevents a direct signal path between transmitter and receiver, as well as at longer distances.
The architecture also supports UWB radar sensing. It also supports newly introduced channels in next-generation standards, expanding the potential uses of UWB.
The expanded areas include secure access and access control, asset tracking, indoor navigation, and precision positioning and sensing. As the architecture's support range broadens in this way, Ceva said it is now possible to apply it across multiple industrial and service sectors.
Kang Yong-seok, senior research fellow and managing director under LG Electronics' SoC Center, said LG Electronics has continuously strengthened advanced RF technology and semiconductor design capabilities essential for implementing high-performance wireless solutions. He said that by combining LG Electronics' UWB RF expertise with Ceva's proven UWB baseband and software technology, the company plans to provide a solution aimed at lowering barriers to UWB adoption and supporting more companies in bringing innovative UWB products to market.
Tal Shalev, vice president and general manager of Ceva's Wireless IoT business, said UWB has entered a new stage against the backdrop of advances in ranging range, performance and sensing technology, and that new opportunities are expanding across vehicle, industrial and consumer markets. He added that through its partnership with LG Electronics, Ceva is combining proven baseband, software and RF technologies to provide customers with an advanced integration technology base for developing differentiated UWB products, and that securing major semiconductor companies as customers is evidence of the value of this collaboration and its future growth potential.
