Now mobile phones would be able to choose broadcasting services, which they want to see without changing their mobile application. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has launched a multiband mobile TV chipset for sue in mobile phones in Europe, Asia, and the United States. The chipset is based on 65-nanometer manufacturing process, which includes a multi-standard channel decoder and a multiband radio frequency (RF) tuner. The multi-standard channel decoder, S3C4F31 and the multi-band radio frequency tuner, S5M8602 supports multiple digital standards, including DVB-H/T, DAB-IP, ISDB-T, and terrestrial DMB. The 65 nm multi-standard channel decoder transforms the analog signal into digital signal in order to restore the image and audio source. It is fully compatible with DVB-H/T, T-DMB, DAB, DAB-IP, and ISDB-T 1-segment standards. The multi-band RF tuner receives all analog broadcast signal and also simplifies circuit structure by applying a low IF complement the conventional zero IF. The multi-band RF tuner supports UHF, VHF and L-band, which is commonly used in Europe and the US. The new chipset includes the tuner and decoder on a single module. The chipset can be offered in two ways, which are given below: 1. Two standalone integrated circuits integrated circuits 2. System-in-chip package This new mobile TV chip set does not require external low noise amplifier (LNA) and additional memory chips, to reduce th bill of materials cost of the total system. Yiwan Wong, a VP in Samsung’s semiconductor business, said, Although a new market, we see high growth potential in mobile TV applications. Samsung is releasing the new chipset in Europe and Asia first. Iamge Credit: Mobile Whack & Technoogy News Daily Via: Tech On
