PHY IP Core Developers: A Comprehensive List

phy ip core wireless technology wlan lte semiconductor

This page provides a list of PHY IP core developers. PHY, short for Physical layer, refers to OSI Layer 1 (L1). It encompasses various wireless technologies, including WLAN, WiMAX, LTE, and Zigbee.

  • WLAN cores support 11a, 11b, 11g, and 11n standards.
  • WiMAX cores support 16d and 16e standards.
  • LTE cores are compliant with 3GPP standards.
  • Zigbee PHY IP cores adhere to the IEEE 802.15.4-2003 PHY standard.
