  • Abstract
    A MIMO chip for 3GPP-LTE standard and beyond is described. The chip implements sphere decoding algorithm with 16-core architecture. The chip is flexible to support multiple configurations: antenna arrays from 2×2 to 8×8, modulations from BPSK to 64QAM, FFT sizes from 128 to 2048 and hard/soft outputs. The chip dissipates 5.8mW for the 3GPP-LTE standard in 3.35mm2 area in 65nm CMOS.
