October 26, 2009 7:07 AM
ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRKR) announced that it has successfully delivered sample 3G mobile handsets incorporating its d2p radio frequency integrated circuits to its commercial chipset customer. The performance of these sample handsets was tested, verified and accepted by the chipset customer, a licensee of ParkerVision's d2p and d2d(TM) technologies. The sample handsets were assembled for the purpose of verifying the d2p technology in working mobile handset implementations, testing the technology in actual network operation, and creating sales samples for handset OEM/ODMs who purchase chipsets from ParkerVision's licensee.
The handsets met all relevant industry standards and passed a series of tests that verify operational performance of the hardware when deployed on mobile phone networks. The customer verified that the d2p transmit chain achieved power consumption savings at all points along the RF transmit power curve when compared against the mass produced transmit chain that d2p replaced in the mobile phone reference design.
