Multiband 4G LTE transceiver MB86L13A released from Fujitsu for smartphones

Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless Products, Inc has introduced the MB86L13A LTE (FDD and TDD) optimized transceiver. This transceiver has been developed for LTE-only applications. The transceiver covers the frequency spectrum from 700 to 2700 MHz.

"The MB86L13A can speed time to market for baseband providers looking to add robust LTE capabilities to their existing 2G/3G solution," said Vivek Bhan, vice president, Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless Products. "The new device provides multiband LTE support on a single IC, complementing the 2G/3G-only solutions offered by platform partners for the growing LTE market."

The MB86L13A multiband LTE transceiver performs for current drain and RF parameters. The advanced application programming interface (API) provides factory calibration time, port mapping and adds monitoring of customized key performance indicators (KPIs).


The availability of multiple transmit, receive and diversity ports on the MB86L13A offers flexibility to map ports and bands for roaming requirements. The transceiver uses an open standard MIPI DigRFSM 4G v1.0 interface to the baseband. The device supports all global FDD bands 1-21, 23-25, and TDD bands 33-41. The MB86L13A supports all LTE bandwidths up to 20MHz. Future transceivers on the roadmap for this year includes a 3GPP release 10-compliant, RFIC solution.

The device is in sampling now and will be available in volume during Q2 2012.
