- Aviat WTM 4000 delivers two independent
channels in single frequency band supporting 5G transport; New
feature is enabled by MaxLinear’s MXL11xx series CMOS
transceiver
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced that Aviat Networks
(NASDAQ: AVNW) has selected the MxL11xx CMOS transceiver to enable
channel aggregation functionality on its new line of WTM 4000
microwave radios.
Tier-1 carriers at Mobile World Congress will be among the first
to get a demonstration of the new capability.
Aviat is a global provider of microwave networking products and
services to mobile service providers, government agencies, energy
and transportation companies and enterprises. The WTM 4000 is the
industry’s highest capacity microwave radio platform and features
the highest capacity in single transceiver radio. The adaptive dual
carrier (A2C) feature enables two RF channels over a single
transceiver, doubling the capacity of a single-header radio.
The MaxLinear MxL11xx is an all-CMOS, single-chip broadband
microwave transceiver product family that can support operation of
all licensed and unlicensed bands from 5 GHz to 45 GHz, including
all ETSI-defined channel spacing options from 5MHz to 224MHz.
Single- or dual-channel operational modes are available.
The comprehensive frequency support of the MxL11xx greatly
reduces the number of product configurations that Aviat must
develop. The high level of integration also greatly minimizes
external bill of material content, while supporting advanced
features like digital pre-distortion, and channel aggregation and
calibration. The channel aggregation feature is ideal for 5G
backhaul applications, doubling the available capacity on a single
backhaul link.
“For Aviat, the comprehensive transceiver functionality of the
MxL11xx together with our software and systems expertise enables us
to provide our customers with a highly-differentiated microwave
solution,” said Ola Gustafsson, Senior Vice President and Chief
Product Officer, Aviat Networks. "A2C operation with a single
transceiver offers an attractive combination of maximal bandwidth
throughput, low latency and smaller form factor."
“With the evolving requirements of 5G backhaul and fronthaul,
particularly higher capacity requirements, operators are looking
for new technology solutions. MaxLinear’s MxL11xx offers highly
advanced features with a high level of integration, unmatched
performance over a wide frequency range of operation, and low power
consumption, which meets strict transmission specifications,” said
Brendan Walsh, Vice President of Product Line Marketing,
Infrastructure Group. “We’re pleased to be partnering with Aviat
Networks in its development of the WTM 4000 high capacity microwave
radio platform.”
Technical Details
The MxL11xx features built-in Full Spectrum Capture™ (FSC™)
technology and supports channel aggregation mode, enabling a second
channel with any channel spacing to be processed within the same
IC.
The MxL11xx incorporates a full receive, transmit, feedback
path, and all synthesizer components on a single chip, and can
support code rates up to 4096 QAM. The closed-loop digital
pre-distortion provides power amplifier (PA) linearization for a
wide variety of PAs.
The product is now available in volume production quantities
from MaxLinear’s worldwide sales team. For more information, email

operations generally and our recently completed acquisitions
include intense competition in our industry; our dependence on a
limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our
revenues; uncertainties concerning how end user markets for our

continued consolidation among cable television and satellite
operators in our target markets and continued consolidation among
competitors within the semiconductor industry generally; our
ability to develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a
timely basis and achieve market acceptance of those products,
particularly as we seek to expand outside of our historic markets;
potential decreases in average selling prices for our products;
risks relating to intellectual property protection and the

indemnification obligations of Exar arising from a recent
divestiture; the impact on our financial condition of acquisition
indebtedness and cash usage arising from the Exar transaction; our
