We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Baseband processing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Radio processors add half-duplex 4FSK modem from
CML Microcircuits, which we summarised at the time by saying "Provides a complete digital baseband processing and data solution when used in conjunction with a suitable host microcontroller and RF circuit".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Cellular baseband can evolve with standards from
NXP Semiconductors: "Multimode baseband platform forms the basis of a next-generation software defined radio system to cater for the changing requirements of LTE".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Coresonic
- take a look at Hardware/software deal targets broadband market
which says: "Coresonic and SySDSoft's partnership simplifies the choices for chip designers who have little wireless technology expertise".
Take a look also at the news release from CML Microcircuits, Radio processors add modem functionality,
as well as Multicore processor undergoes testing from Berkeley Design Automation,
and Switch cuts baseband costs from Tundra Semiconductor.
