ANADIGICS Launches Complete 3G HSPA Transmit Modules

ANADIGICS Launches Complete 3G HSPA Transmit Modules

March 06, 2007

New front-end modules for QUALCOMM MSM Chipsets; the
expanding family of front-end modules from ANADIGICS offers
phone designers a total, integrated transmit-chain
solution.

    WARREN, N.J., March 6 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ANADIGICS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor
solutions in the rapidly growing broadband wireless and
wireline communications markets, introduced at 3GSM World
Congress a new family of front-end modules (FEMs) that will
help streamline 3G designs. Marking the company's next step
in integration, the new multi-chip front end modules
provide a complete transmit chain for WCDMA/EDGE (WEDGE)
mobile handsets; including the power amplifier (PA), RF
coupler, transmit filter and duplexer, and antenna switch.

    The FEMs utilize ANADIGICS' exclusive, third-generation
high-efficiency-at-low-power (HELP3(TM)) technology, which
reduces average current consumption by 75%, and are
compatible with QUALCOMM's RFR6275(TM) and RTR6275(TM) CMOS
transceivers that are part of QUALCOMM's Mobile Station
Modem(TM) (MSM(TM)) MSM6245(TM), MSM6260(TM), MSM6280(TM)
and MSM7200(TM) chipset solutions as well as with the
single-chip QSC6055(TM) solution.  

    "The high levels of integration offered by these
modules enable our customers to deliver ultra-thin,
multi-media products with HSPA 3G functionality and lowest
power consumption in the industry.  In addition,
integration of critical radio functions in single modules
substantially reduces time-to-market for handset
OEMs," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice President
and General Manager of Wireless Products at ANADIGICS. 
"With the new generation of FEM's, ANADIGICS expands
its RF content in 3G handset market."

    Measuring 6.8 x 8.0mm with a height of 1.2mm, the
AWT6507 and the AWT6510 FEMs both support quad-band Polar
EDGE applications. The AWT6507 integrates a SP7T antenna
switch for single-band UMTS, and the AWT6510 features a
SP9T antenna switch for tri-band UMTS.

    Three new WCDMA front-end modules round out the family:
 The AWT6503 for Band 1 (IMT), the AWT6508 for Band 2 (PCS)
and the AWT6509 for Band 5 (Cellular).  These modules
include exclusive, third-generation
high-efficiency-at-low-power (HELP3(TM)) technology, which
reduces average current consumption by 75%.  Each module
includes an RF coupler, transmit filter and duplexer in a
4.0 x 7.0 mm package.

    The new modules are also designed to work with other
ANADIGICS FEMs in order to support multi-band and
world-phone designs. For example, the AWT6507 can be paired
with the AWT6503 in order to deliver a two-module solution
for a 5-band WEDGE phone marketed in Europe and Asia. The
AWT6510 is designed to pair with ANADIGICS' IMT, PCS, and
Cell-Band FEMs (AWT6504, AWT6507, and AWT6509,
respectively). When all four of these modules are combined,
they enable a 7-band WEDGE world-phone.
