Systems4Silicon's Crest Factor Reduction (CFR) Technology, named FlexCFR, is an advanced solution designed to optimize the performance of RF power amplifiers by limiting transmit signal envelope. This enables significant improvements in amplifier efficiency by increasing the average transmit power while reducing peak-power demands. FlexCFR stands out for its vendor-independence, allowing it to be configured for any FPGA or ASIC platform, and dynamic adaptability to accommodate various communication standards including multi-carrier signals.
FlexCFR offers several advantages, such as reducing the costs associated with higher peak-power requirements and improving overall amplifier efficiency. The product allows for real-time changes, supporting a variety of standard and non-standard communication systems, ensuring a tailored fit for different networking needs. The technologically sophisticated CFR can adjust the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) to balance spectral emission performance against in-channel outcomes, providing versatile operational benefits.
Designed for comprehensive adaptability, FlexCFR is compatible with DPD solutions and envelope tracking, offering robust functionality in diverse network setups. The system is known for its deterministic behavior, facilitating accurate off-line modeling for performance predictions and system optimization. Systems4Silicon offers detailed documentation and ongoing support from experienced engineers to help users harness the full potential of FlexCFR technology.
