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.
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).
