ANADIGICS Announces New Wireless Power Amplifier Patent Award
WARREN, N.J. ANADIGICS, Inc., a leading supplier of wireless and broadband communications solutions, has been awarded a patent for a newly designed gallium arsenide (GaAs) multi-band amplifier.
The patent, US Patent No. 6242986 entitled Multiple-band amplifier , is the second to be granted to ANADIGICS for this amplifier circuit.
The new GaAs Multi-band Amplifier Circuit, which has been designed for use in the wireless communications sector, is disclosed for operation at either the 800 MHz or the 1900 MHz band, and provides the desired gain and input/output impedance. Switching impedance networks are used at the input and output of the amplifier to provide matching input impedance and desired output impedance for operation in the two bands. Switching impedance networks are also used between any successive stages of the amplifier to provide proper inter-stage impedance.
The dual band amplifier includes a bias control circuit that biases the amplifier to operate in A, B, AB or C mode. The amplifier can be used for the AMPS 800 or the GSM 900 operation, or any other wireless operation such as the PCS 1900, and can be switched between the two operations by simply applying a proper control signal to the amplifier.
ANADIGICS designs and manufactures radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) solutions for growing broadband and wireless communications markets. The Company s innovative high frequency RFICs enable manufacturers of communications equipment to enhance overall system performance while reducing manufacturing cost and time to market. By utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing processes for its RFICs, ANADIGICS achieves the high-volume and cost-effective products required by leading companies in its targeted high-growth communications markets. ANADIGICS was the first GaAs IC manufacturer to receive ISO 9001 certification. Web: http://www.anadigics.com.
