Morpho Demonstrates 3G Software Defined Radio in Silicon

Morpho Technologies, a start-up based in Irvine, California, demonstrated a software-define 3G baseband processor running on its reconfigurable Digital Signal Processor. Morpho Technologies' MS1 rDSP implements the baseband functions of a WCDMA Transceiver for handsets and infrastructure equipment while simultaneously running applications such as MPEG4, GPS, 802.11, as well as others. The MS1 rDSP executes these applications by running programs residing in flash memory outside the chip. Morpho said its architecture enables 3G handsets to easily adapt "on-the-fly" regardless of native standards.
