Scope
The RF to baseband interface specified in the JEDEC standard JESD96A is briefly described as follows. This
interface is a high-speed, low latency digital interface that has been defined primarily for wireless local area
networking applications but can be used for other RF to BB links such as used in metro area networking and wide
area networking applications. This interface allows the radio front end of a wireless network controller to be
separated from the base-band and MAC device(s) by up to 50 cm. A typical example is to connect a radio front end
in the upper (screen) portion of a laptop computer to a base-band device on the motherboard. Lower power options
are also defined for shorter distances.
