Talk Video: A Flexible Dual-Band WiMAX RF Front End Solution
Designers of mobile WiMAX/WiBRO systems face many challenges when designing and
specifying the RF front end. There are issues with system power output, FCC
regulations, power consumption, and interference with local cellular radios.
Other issues are layout and design flexibility, and the potential need for
custom modules.
Avago has addressed these concerns with our new flexible dual band WiMAX RF front end solution. The solution consists of three separate small standalone modules: two full-band power amplifiers and a switch/detector/control module.
Revolutionary New Chip Scale Packaging Flash Demo
This flash shows a breakthrough in packaging technology that brings wireless chip micro-miniaturization and high frequency performance to new levels. Avago's innovative WaferCap is the industry's first semiconductor-based chip scale packaging (CSP) technology. The ultra small product dimensions and performance levels resulting from WaferCap CSP provide a new level of design flexibility in device placement that will change the way RF designers think about a variety of wireless product designs.

Avago RF VMMK Devices Improve Performance By Reducing Parasitic Inductance And Capacitance
Packaging has always significantly impacted on microwave IC and amplifier performance. In most cases, the inherent parasitic capacitance and inductance of the package lead frame and wire bonds set a limit to circuit performance. Avago Technologies developed a bonded-wafer-to-wafer package technology in 2004 and now offers innovative microwave gallium arsenide (GaAs) VMMK devices based on the proprietary WaferCAP™ chip scale package. Surfacemount (SMT), very low cost VMMK amplifier and FET devices are available today and soon to be released diodes and detectors will be added to the VMMK series.
Integration Creates Compact CDMA RF Front End with GPS Capability
In this whitepaper, design requirements, best practice PCB layout, component selection and system design will be addressed. A highly integrated CDMA plus GPS RF front end design with measured performance characteristics will be used as a concrete example. The three Avago RF modules used are: the ACPM-7353 dual-band Power Amplifier Module designed for CDMA (code division multiple access) cellular and PCS; the ACFM-7103 multiplexer; and the ALM-1412 GPS Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Integrated Filter. These three compact components replace seven discrete components.
GaAs-Based Surface Mount Wafer Scale Package MMICs for DC to 45 GHz Applications
Packaging has always been the "Achilles Heal" of extracting the maximum microwave performance out of any IC technology. The inherent parasitic capacitance and inductance associated with bond wires, lead frames, and encapsulating dielectric materials dominate the final products high frequency performance. One way to solve this problem is to eliminate parasitic causing factors and make the IC become the package. This is the basis of WSP (Wafer Scale Packaging).
