In a major advancement for India’s efforts in indigenous telecommunications technology, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), a prominent research institution under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), has formalized a strategic agreement with Linearized Amplifier Technologies and Services Pvt. Ltd. This collaboration is set to focus on the development and demonstration of Millimeter Wave Power Amplifier Chips IP Core for 5G FR2, as part of the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) initiative.

The TTDF scheme, launched by the Department of Telecommunications, focuses on supporting the design, development, and market readiness of cutting-edge telecom technologies. This initiative is integral to India’s mission to provide affordable broadband and mobile services and address the digital divide in the country.

Linearised Amplifier Technologies will work alongside Vedang Radio Technology Pvt. Ltd. to create state-of-the-art Millimeter Wave Power Amplifier Chips, specifically engineered for 5G FR2 frequency bands. These advanced amplifier IP cores will play a crucial role in standalone transceiver chips. They can also be integrated into larger phased arrays, which are essential for high-efficiency beamforming systems using over-the-air power combining. The project targets the 26 GHz and 47 GHz bands, aiming to deliver the high-speed, ultra-low latency performance necessary for 5G applications. Utilizing commercial foundry services and industry-standard process design kits (PDKs), the initiative ensures the creation of commercially viable and industry-ready IP cores.
