AWM6424

The ANADIGICS AWM6424 WiMAX Power Amplifier is a high performance device that delivers exceptional linearity and efficiency at high levels of output power. Designed for portable or mobile applications in the 2.3 - 2.7 GHz band, it supports the IEEE 802.16 and the ETSI mobile wireless standards.

The device requires only a nominal +3.3V supply and a low-current bias input. An increase in supply voltage produces an increase in the maximum linear output power. The integrated detector can be used to monitor output power, and the integrated 25 dB step attenuator enables gain control. No external circuits are required for biasing or RF impedance matching, thus reducing external component costs and facilitating circuit board designs.

The AWM6424 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness. It is offered in a 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.0 mm surface mount module optimized for use in a 50 system.
