AR5005VA Technology Overview
The Atheros AR5513 introduces HDTV-quality wireless
in an integrated video solution. As the core of the
AR5005VA chipset, the AR5513 processor combines
integrated support for popular HDTV, SDTV, and
multimedia processors, along with multiple radio and
smart antenna technologies. This enables reliable, high
performance and affordable video/audio solutions.
Video/audio capabilities include direct, glueless
connections to existing consumer electronics designs
with hardware-based jitter control, MPEG encapsulation,
and MPEG-TS aggregation. IR modulator and repeater
capabilities complete the CE package.
Multiple radio support is available for two and four antenna
configurations with transmit beamforming and receive combining to
blanket even extremely large homes with HDTV-quality wireless coverage.
