WCDMA (UMTS) & EDGE Power Amplifier Modules for Reference Design

US NJ : Anadigics announced that the company's WCDMA (UMTS) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE power amplifiers (PAs) have been adopted for a reference design by Qualcomm.

Qualcomm's Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM6275 chipset for HSDPA and WCDMA (UMTS) /GSM /GPRS/ EDGE networks has been widely adopted for wireless devices around the world, helping drive the deployment of HSDPA and other advanced wireless technologies. The MSM6275 reference design includes Anadigics' AWT6272, AWT6276 and AWT6277 WCDMA (UMTS) PAs and the company's AND0041 polar EDGE PA. The AWT6272, AWT6276, and AWT6277 High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP) WCDMA PAs extend the battery life in mobile handsets and notebook computers with embedded WCDMA (UMTS) capabilities.

"GSM/GPRS operators are upgrading their networks to support the WCDMA (UMTS) air interface with High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), driving demand for multi-mode 3G mobile phones, data cards, PDAs and embedded systems, and increasing Anadigics' content per application," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Products at Anadigics. "With four Anadigics power amplifiers supporting different bands as part of Qualcomm's industry-leading MSM6275 reference design, we are proud to have been selected as a primary power amplifier vendor for their 3G solutions and look forward to continued collaboration on the next generation of broadband wireless systems."
