Low power design of the X-GOLD® SDR 20 baseband processor

The X-GOLD SDR 2x family of programmable baseband processors is designed for hosting multiple standards of mobile communication, connectivity, and reception of broadcast ser(R) vices. Processors from the X-GOLDw SDR 2x family obtain the necessary flexibility from a set of programmable SIMD (single-instruction, multiple-data) processor cores, which exchange data through shared on-chip memories. The processors are supported by few dedicated configurable hardware accelerators for those DSP tasks which require no or little flexibility, (R) by an ARMW core for the execution of the upper layers of the protocol stack and by standard IO-components.
