S-DMB single-chip highly integrated solutionsS-DMB (Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), the world's first service for mobile TV, was launched in Korea and Japan in 2005. S-DMB is based on the ITU System E standard, operating at 2.6GHz frequency, and adopts the complementary gap-filler system for the coverage of shadow areas such as in-building or underground. The number of S-DMB subscribers in Korea continues to grow and surpassed 500,000 as of March 2006. The main applications for S-DMB are wireless handsets and in-vehicle automotive. GDM7001World's first highly integrated CMOS single-chip tuner for mobile TV applications
GCT Semiconductor plans to combine its proven RF CMOS expertise with state-of-the-art innovative modem technologies in the future to develop and market single-chip tuners for other mobile TV standards. GDM7001 is currently deployed in satellite DMB phones in Korea and Japan. Portable TV solutions and several in-vehicle applications using GCT Semiconductor's latest innovation are expected to be launched in the market place later this year. COMBINES THREE FUNCTIONS INTO ONE GDM7001 is the first highly integrated CMOS single-chip mobile TV tuner for handheld devices to combine three key functions into one: the RF tuner, channel decoder and the controller. The ultra-low power GDM7001 is currently in production with a top handset manufacturer in Korea and plays a key role in reducing component cost, lowering power consumption, and minimizing footprint by as much as 50 percent. GDM7001 is specifically optimized to support the Korean S-DMB and Japanese MSB mobile broadcast handsets. IN PRODUCTION WITH A TOP KOREAN HANDSET MANUFACTURER The highly integrated GDM7001 targets handheld devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, in-vehicle applications, and other multimedia convergence devices. This cutting-edge chip allows viewing of clear and crisp multi-channel broadcast TV at a speed up to 300 km/h for up to three hours on a single battery charge, significantly adding battery-life of handheld devices. The tuner's clever engineering enables users to enjoy high quality, reliable, full-motion real-time digital TV programming for longer periods of time. |
