ANADIGICS Expands WiFi Infrastructure Product Line
December 18 2014 - 8:00AM
ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANAD) (the "Company"), a world leader in
radio frequency (RF) solutions, today introduced the AWL5911 power
amplifier (PA) optimized for 802.11a/n/ac WiFi infrastructure and
multimedia applications. The new AWL5911 delivers an
industry-leading combination of linearity, efficiency, gain and
thermal characteristics, while minimizing external components.
These performance and integration advantages help 802.11ac Wave 2
solutions enable multi-user multi-input/multi-output (MU-MIMO)
functionality, take advantage of 160 MHz channels, and make use of
an additional transmit spatial stream. When employed, these
features can provide higher data throughput at greater range and
coverage than existing Wave 1 solutions.
"The new features available with Wave 2 promise to enrich the
experience for WiFi users connected to an expanding array of
infrastructure and multimedia devices," said Dave Cresci, president
of ANADIGICS. "ANADIGICS' family of 802.11ac WiFi power
amplifiers is enabling this trend by delivering exceptional
linearity, output power and gain to enable ultra-high data
throughput. With world-class efficiency, enhanced thermal
characteristics and outstanding integration, the AWL5911 supports
high-performance multi-user MIMO designs, while reducing BOM costs
and minimizing PCB space requirements. We believe that these
advantages are being recognized and valued with specification on
leading reference designs."
ANADIGICS' family of 802.11ac WiFi power amplifiers for
infrastructure applications leverages the Company's patented
InGaP-Plus™ technology and unique design architectures to offer
world-class performance and integration. The AWL5911 power
amplifier delivers exceptional linearity, 33 dB of linear power
gain and 1.8% EVM at 22 dBm output power to ensure stable, reliable
high-throughput WiFi connectivity in the toughest modulation
formats. The AWL5911 also features an internal digital PA
enable interface that eliminates the need for an external buffer
amplifier, as well as an integrated detector that facilitates
accurate power control over varying load conditions (3:1 VSWR).
This level of integration reduces surface mount passive components
and simplifies RF design, saving valuable board space, reducing
bill of materials, and accelerating time-to-market.
