摘要： Techniques are provided aimed at improving the flexibility and reducing the area and power consumption of digital baseband integrated circuits by using stream data processor based modem architecture. Semiconductor companies offering baseband ICs for handsets, face the challenges of improving die size efficiency, power efficiency, performance, time to market, and coping with evolving standards. Software defined radio based implementations offer a fast time to market. Dedicated hardware designs give the best die size and power efficiency. To combine the advantages of dedicated hardware with the advantages of conventional software defined radio solutions the stream data processor is partitioned into a stream processor unit, which implements processing functions in dedicated hardware and is hence die size and power efficient, and a flexible stream control unit which may be software defined to minimize the time to market of the product.
