Small-Cell Power Amplifier Family

July 14, 2013

Power amplifiers optimized for WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE small-cell applications are available from ANADIGICS, 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 band, respectively, delivering integration and good performance to help manufacturers develop compact wireless infrastructure solutions that consume less power and provide higher throughput with greater coverage.

By offering a broad portfolio of high-performance ¼-Watt and ½-Watt linear power amplifiers optimized for 3G and 4G frequency bands, ANADIGICS enables wireless network equipment manufacturers to meet this infrastructure challenge.

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. Both the AWB7122 and AWB7124 deliver 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 power amplifiers are available in a 7 millimeter x 7 millimeter x 1.3 millimeter surface mount package with integrated RF matching to reduce PCB space requirements. www.anadigics.com
