ANADIGICS, Inc. , announced earlier this week, a new family of dual-band
InGaP power amplifiers (PAs) supporting the AMPS/cellular and PCS frequency
bands. The new PAs provide full compliance with CDMA 1xRTT and CDMA 1xEV-DO
standards, high efficiency, and excellent linearity to enable outstanding signal
integrity for mobile data applications. The small footprint 3 mm by 5 mm AWT6310
and AWT6314 feature independent RF paths to ensure optimal performance in both
frequency bands, while achieving a 25% space savings compared with solutions
requiring two single-band PAs.
"ANADIGICS is one of the world's leading suppliers of CDMA, GSM, 3G and
WiFi power amplifiers for mobile wireless communications," said Dr. Ali
Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Products at
ANADIGICS. "Our new dual-band CDMA power amplifiers set a new industry
benchmark in size, integration and performance."
ANADIGICS' AWT6310 and AWT6314 PA modules feature 39% efficiency, 50 mA of
quiescent current, and 1µA of leakage current in both bands, resulting in
longer talk-time and standby-time for today's power-hungry multimedia handsets.
The PA modules deliver 27.5 dB gain in the cellular band and 26.5 dB gain in the
PCS band, and offer an impressive typical adjacent channel power of
approximately -50 dBc in both bands to provide a high quality wireless
connection for voice and data applications. The new family of dual-band CDMA PAs
provides maximum PCB design flexibility to manufacturers by offering different
pin-out configurations that simplify board layouts. These PAs offer a common
VMODE line to simplify the control interface and support single-mode operation
up to full antenna power. The ultra-thin 3 mm by 5 mm by 1 mm AWT6310 and
AWT6314 are designed for applications that require European Union's Restriction
of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) products.
