ANADIGICS Introduces New Small-Cell Power Amplifier

Expanded Power Amplifier Family Delivers Industry-Leading Performance and Integration for Small-Cell Applications, Including Picocells, Enterprise-Class Femtocells and CPE Devices

ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”), a world leader in radio frequency (RF) solutions, recently introduced the AWB7222 power amplifier (PA) optimized for WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE small-cell applications. The new AWB7222 operates in the 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz frequency band delivering an industry-leading combination of output power, linearity, power-added efficiency and thermal characteristics. This level of performance combined with exceptional integration enables manufacturers to develop compact wireless infrastructure solutions that consume less power and provide higher throughput with greater coverage.

“We continue to expand our small-cell power amplifier family with targeted solutions optimized for the most widely used 3G and 4G frequency bands,” said Glenn Eswein, director of product marketing for Infrastructure Products at ANADIGICS. “As manufacturers develop small-cell products to help carriers address rapidly increasing wireless data consumption, ANADIGICS’ power amplifiers stand out as critical enablers. Our small-cell product family delivers the highest output power, linearity, and efficiency in its class, enabling compact, high throughput devices that provide an economical path to expand broadband network coverage.”

ANADIGICS’ family of small-cell wireless infrastructure power amplifiers leverages the Company’s unique InGaP-Plus technology and innovative design architectures to deliver industry-leading performance and integration. The AWB7222 offers +27 dBm linear output power for ¼-Watt small-cell applications, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and high-performance customer premises equipment (CPE).  With linearity of -47 dBc ACPR at +27 dBm output power and 31 dB of RF gain, the AWB7222 power amplifier enables higher data rates with a greater coverage area. This power amplifier also provides 13% efficiency to minimize power consumption and offer greater flexibility in the choice of network power sources. The complete family of small-cell power amplifiers is available in a compact, low profile 7 mm x 7 mm x 1.3 mm surface mount package with integrated RF matching to reduce PCB space requirements.
