New Dual-Band CDMA Power Amplifiers Support AMPS/Cellular And PCS Frequency Bands

Warren, NJ -- ANADIGICS, Inc. announced a new family of dual-band InGaP power amplifiers supporting the AMPS/cellular and PCS frequency bands. The new PAs provide full compliance with CDMA 1xRTT and CDMA 1xEV-DO standards. The small footprint 3 mm by 5 mm AWT6310 and AWT6314 feature independent RF paths to ensure performance in both frequency bands.

"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 milliamp of quiescent current, and 1 microamp of leakage current in both bands. The PA modules deliver 27.5 dB gain in the cellular band and 26.5 dB gain in the PCS band, and offer typical adjacent channel power of approximately -50 dBc in both bands. The new family of dual-band CDMA PAs provide PCB design flexibility to manufacturers by offering different pin-out configurations. 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.
