Pulse~LINK and Fujitsu Microelectronics Develop UWB Chips

Pulse~LINK, a start-up based in San Diego, and Fujitsu Microelectronics America will jointly develop a digital baseband processor for Ultra Wideband (UWB) WLAN applications using Fujitsu’s 0.11-micron CMOS SoC ASIC technology. Pulse~LINK has demonstrated 400 Mbps UWB transmission and is developing an FCC-compliant solution with about a 100-meter range. Under the agreement, Fujitsu Microelectronics will provide design and manufacturing services for the digital baseband processor, one of two SoC ASICs that form Pulse~LINK’s high-speed secure WLAN solution. Engineering samples are expected by the end of 2004.
