The Digital Up Conversion (DUC) technology is integral to modern signal processing within wireless communication systems. It converts baseband signals to intermediate frequency, a step necessary for efficient radio transmission. Faststream's DUC IP employs a sophisticated interpolating filter chain, a numerically controlled oscillator, and a mixer, all designed to ensure high precision in frequency conversion processes.
DUC is particularly beneficial in improving signal quality and optimizing bandwidth utilization in LTE and advanced communication systems. By adapting a series of filters, including a low-pass interpolator and half-band interpolator, the DUC IP ensures accurate and efficient up-sampling of signals, catering to varying criteria like cell search and master information block recovery in LTE receivers.
The DUC solution is engineered for high clock rates, with a design optimized for operation at frequencies up to 122.88 MHz. Faststream's approach facilitates significant resource efficiency, making it a well-suited solution for handling the stringent demands of high-performance telecommunications infrastructure. Through expert integration of up-conversion components, this IP stands as a cornerstone for robust network deployments.
