Anadigics ships high-efficiency 3G PAs for use in a multi-mode embedded 3G wireless modem

Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA is shipping production volumes of three of its high-efficiency 3G power amplifiers (PAs) for use in a multi-mode embedded 3G wireless modem, which enables mobile broadband connectivity for notebook users on cellular networks worldwide. Anadigics did not name the customer.

The three Anadigics WCDMA/HSPA PAs enable operation in the IMT, PCS, and cellular bands for this embedded module. Each PA incorporates Anadigics’ proprietary third-generation high-efficiency-at-low-power (HELP3), InGaP-Plus technology, which reduces average current consumption by as much as 75%, compared to a conventional PA device, says the firm.

“Lack of global connectivity and multi-operator compatibility has been a major barrier to widespread adoption of embedded 3G modules in notebook computers. The new generation of embedded modules offer a breakthrough solution for global 3G broadband connectivity beyond WiFi for note-book and net-book computers,” says Dr Ali Khatibzadeh, senior vice president and general manager of RF Products at Anadigics Inc. “The adoption of the new HELP3 WCDMA/HSPA power amplifiers for these modules expands Anadigics’ 3G market share into notebook and net-book computers.”
