NEW DELHI, NOV 11, 2024: IN a significant advancement for India's telecommunications technology landscape for homegrown solutions, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), a leading R&D institution under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India, has signed an agreement with Linearized Amplifier Technology Services Pvt. Ltd.

The agreement is signed under the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme of Department of Telecommunications, Government of India. This scheme provides funding support to design, development, and commercialization of telecom technologies. The TTDF scheme is a cornerstone of the Government of India's mission to enable affordable broadband and mobile services, playing an essential role in reducing India's digital divide.

Under this project, the Linearized Amplifier has collaborated with Vedang Radio Technology Pvt Ltd. to focus on the development of an innovative 'Millimeter Wave Power Amplifier Chips IP Core,' specifically designed for the 5G FR2 frequency bands. These power amplifier IP cores are essential for standalone transceiver chips as well as also serve as building blocks in larger phased arrays, designed for beamforming systems that rely on over-the-air power combining. The project aims to develop and validate the mm-wave Power amplifier IP cores for 5G FR2 frequency bands (26 GHz and 47 GHz) using commercial foundry services. The 5G FR2 frequency bands can be leveraged to provide ample bandwidth availability at the mm-wave frequencies that is crucial for highspeed and ultra-low latency services required in 5G. The project will use the standard process design kits (PDKs) in the design and hardware validation process underscoring a commitment to producing commercially viable, industry-ready IP cores. This partnership signifies a major step forward in building indigenous technology and strengthening India's capability to produce advanced telecom components within the country.

The signing ceremony was attended by Dr. Pankaj Kumar Dalela, Director, C-DOT, along with Mr. Vivek Sharma and Prof. Karun Rawat, Directors of Linearized Amplifier Technology & Services private ltd.  During the event, Prof. Rawat and Mr. Sharma expressed their commitment to strengthening India's semiconductor and telecom sectors through this pivotal collaboration. They extended their gratitude to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and C-DOT for their support, noting that this support will enhance cutting-edge research and infrastructure as well as aligns seamlessly with the National Semiconductor Mission, a crucial component of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make-in-India initiative.

Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO, C-DOT, emphasised  C-DOT's contributions as a beacon of indigenous development of telecom products and solutions and relentless effort in research accelerating nation's growth with the unfettered support of the government. Through this agreement, C-DOT, Linear-Amptech, and Vedang Radio Technology are gearing up to strengthen India's capacity to produce and sustain cutting-edge solutions on a global scale.
