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.
The agreement marks a pivotal moment for India’s telecom sector, highlighting the country’s progress toward self-reliance in producing sophisticated components for next-generation communication systems. The signing ceremony featured prominent figures, including Dr. Pankaj Kumar Dalela, Director of C-DOT, alongside Mr. Vivek Sharma and Professor Karun Rawat, Directors of Linearized Amplifier Technology. Both directors expressed gratitude to the Department of Telecommunications and C-DOT for their unwavering support, emphasizing the collaboration’s alignment with the National Semiconductor Mission and the Make-in-India initiative spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO of C-DOT, underscored C-DOT’s commitment to developing indigenous telecom solutions and advancing research in line with national priorities. He emphasized that this partnership is a vital step toward enhancing India’s global competitiveness in the telecom sector. The collaboration among C-DOT, Linearized Amplifier Technologies, and Vedang Radio Technology is set to position India at the forefront of telecom innovation, promoting the development of advanced technologies that can compete on the world stage.
