We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Baseband processor",
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 Paper to describe novel programmable baseband from
Coresonic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Fully programmable baseband processor will enable standards such as mobile WiMAX and DVB-T/H to be implemented much more efficiently than fixed-function circuits".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Design speeds development of Internet radio from
Cambridge Silicon Radio: "CSR's low cost RadioPro design has enabled NTEEP to produce a versatile module that can easily be adopted to provide Wi-Fi functionality".
In January 2008, we covered the news from CML Microcircuits
concerning its DE70321 marine AIS class-B demonstrator
- take a look at Demonstrator speeds transponder development
which says: "The DE70321 is a complete AIS Class B (IEC 62287) technology demonstrator aimed at speeding manufacturers' design and development of Marine AIS Class B transponders and AIS receiver products".
Take a look also at the news release from NXP Semiconductors, Cellular baseband can evolve with standards,
as well as Baseband lays foundation for integrated handsets from SiTel Semiconductor,
and Hardware/software deal targets broadband market from Coresonic.
