New ANADIGICS Linear EDGE Power Amp Module Supports Longer Broadband Data Transmit Times in 2.75G and 3G Phones, PDAs, and Wireless PC Cards

May 15, 2007

    WARREN, N.J., May 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD) has introduced a new quad-band Linear
EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) power amplifier
module for 2.75G and 3G cell phones, PDAs, and wireless PC
cards that use the globally-accepted GSM/EDGE cellular
standard.  

    ANADIGICS is a leading provider of semiconductor
solutions in the rapidly growing broadband wireless and
wireline communications markets.  Its broadband wireless
products serve all global third-generation (3G) and
fourth-generation (4G) standards as well as the WiFi
connectivity market.

    The EDGE standard has been adopted by most GSM
operators worldwide either in combination with UMTS WCMDA
(3G) or as a stand-alone upgrade (2.75G) to the GSM/GRPS
(2.5G) system. There are two predominant hardware
architectures adopted by baseband chipset suppliers serving
the EDGE market -- Polar and Linear.   The AWT6172 is a
quad-band GPRS/EDGE power amplifier module designed for the
linear EDGE architecture adopted by several base-band
chipset suppliers. ANADIGICS has also announced products
for the Polar EDGE architecture adopted by top-tier 3G
chipset suppliers.  

    "ANADIGICS continues to add to its comprehensive
portfolio of products for the exciting 3G WCDMA & EDGE
markets," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Wireless Products at
ANADIGICS. "With the introduction of AWT6172 Linear
EDGE power amplifier, ANADIGICS extends its reach beyond
Polar EDGE and WEDGE markets. It will also enable us to
participate in the other segment of 3G market served by
chipset suppliers using the linear EDGE architecture."
  

    ANADIGICS AWT6172 supports operation in the GSM850,
GSM900, DCS, and PCS bands. The ANADIGICS AWT6172 delivers
efficiencies of up to 55% in GMSK mode for longer
talk-time, with a linearity of 64 dBc ACPR at 28.5 dBm
output power level, making it especially attractive to
handset makers. 

    Featured in a small 6 x 6 x 1.1 mm package, the AWT6172
power amplifier module is built on InGaP-Plus(TM) HBT
technology, and is EGPRS capable (class 12). Saturated
output power in GMSK mode is rated at +35 dBm in the
GSM850/900 bands, and at +33 dBm in the DCS/PCS bands.
Efficiencies for these two bands are 55% and 50%
respectively.  Comparable numbers for EDGE linear power are
+28.5 dBm and +27.5 dBm for GSM850/900 and DCS bands
respectively.
