Both devices are optimised for Band 5 WCDMA and LTE applications, including picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and high performance customer premises equipment (CPE).
Anadigics’ complete family of small-cell power amplifiers provides a combination of high output power, efficiency, and linearity.
“The rapid growth in mobile data usage is driving carriers to seek cost effective methods to increase network capacity, especially in dense geographic locations,” says Glenn Eswein, director of product marketing for broadband RF products at Anadigics. Small-cell devices, such as picocells and femtocells, provide carriers with an economical, high performance solution that can be deployed quickly.”
Anadigics’ small-cell power amplifiers have been developed specifically for these applications, and enable wireless infrastructure solutions that are more thermally-efficient, consume less power, enable higher throughput, and provide greater coverage and range.
The AWB7125 wireless infrastructure PA provides +24.5 dBm linear output power, while the AWB7225 provides +27 dBm linear output power. Both power amplifiers are optimized for WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE small-cell base stations operating in the 860 MHz to 894 MHz frequency bands. Anadigics’ complete family of small-cell wireless infrastructure power amplifiers is manufactured using the Company’s exclusive InGaP-Plus technology to achieve best-in-class efficiency, linearity and thermal performance.
Pre-production samples of the AWB7125 are available now. Engineering samples of the AWB7225 are available now for qualified programs.
Anadigics will participate in the 2012 IEEE International Microwave Symposium in Montréal, Canada. The firm's exhibit will be open June 19th to 21st, 2012 and is located at Booth #3514.
Also, Glenn Eswein, director of product marketing for broadband RF products at Anadigics, will be presenting at the Richardson RFPD Booth #1818, at 3:00pm on Wednesday, June 20th, 2012. The presentation will focus on small-cell wireless infrastructure power amplifiers.
