ANADIGICS expands small-cell power amplifier family

WARREN, USA: ANADIGICS Inc. introduced two new power amplifiers (PAs) optimized for WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE small-cell applications, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and high-performance customer premises equipment (CPE).

The AWB7122 and AWB7124 operate in the 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz and 728 MHz to 768 MHz frequency band, respectively, delivering exceptional integration and performance to help manufacturers develop compact
wireless infrastructure solutions that consume less power and provide higher throughput with greater coverage.

ANADIGICS' complete family of small-cell wireless infrastructure power amplifiers leverage the company's unique InGaP-Plus technology and innovative design architectures to deliver industry-leading performance and integration. The AWB7122 and AWB7124 power amplifiers provide 16 percent and 14.5 percent efficiency, respectively, to minimize power consumption and offer greater flexibility in the choice of network power sources.

The AWB7122 and AWB7124 deliver exceptional linearity of -47 dBc ACPR at +24.5 dBm output power and 30 dB of RF gain to provide higher data rates with a greater coverage area. 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.
