chip rate

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
chip rate
In direct sequence spread spectrum technologies such as DSSS and CDMA, it is the number of bits per second (chips per second) used in the spreading signal. A different spreading signal is added to the data signal to code each transmission uniquely. The number of chips (bits) in the spreading signal is significantly greater than the data bits. Chip rate is measured in "megachips per second" (Mcps), which is millions of chips per second. See spread spectrum, CDMA and 802.11.

NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announced the availability of its second-generation chipset for developers of advanced multimedia mobile handsets based on the 3G TD-SCDMA Low Chip Rate (LCR) air interface.
Taking center stage will be Analog Devices' SoftFone(R)-LCR chipset, a flexible, highly integrated solution for developers of 3G mobile terminals based on the TD-SCDMA Low Chip Rate (LCR) air interface, which continues to gain momentum as one of the 3G technologies expected to be implemented in China.
In that regard, we are carefully assessing Siemens' recent announcement that it intends to place increased emphasis on developing a low chip rate TD-SCDMA(1) (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) solution for the market in China and possibly Europe.
