imec presents a pioneering IEEE 802.15.4z compliant impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver for high-precision ranging. Building on a cost-efficient silicon implementation, imec’s transceiver chip accomplishes a 1.4mm ranging precision and comes with record low power consumption. As such, it paves the way for a variety of innovative (automotive) applications. One use case includes the…
Distributed feedback lasers power silicon photonic transceivers
Casela Technologies announced the introduction of its 1310nm band high-power, continuous-wave (CW) distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with record high power conversion efficiency and optical powers for silicon photonics-based transceivers. Digital transformation, 5G, a passive optical network (PON), and cable fiber initiatives continue to drive bandwidth growth for optical communications. East-west traffic inside data centers continues to…
