Development platform implementation and verification for UMTS UE MODEM

摘要

In this paper, we present the development platform (DP) of user equipment (UE) baseband modem in compliance with 3GPP Release 99 FDD specification. A configuration of development platform and a detail explanation of test items are described. The functionality and performance of UE modem and protocol stacks (Layer 1 & Layer 2/3) are confirmed by HW/SW co-verification using Seamless CVE and call test using Anritsu MD8480A base station simulator. Currently, UMTS UE Modem Chip based on development platform is implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology and tests on the chip are in progress.
