Conexant Systems has announced the world's first quad-band GSM power amplifier module (PAM). In addition to all four GSM frequency bands, the CX77314 PAM also supports GPRS multi-slot operation. Packaged in a low-profile, compact 8mm x 10mm module, the CX77314 provides handset manufacturers with a single-component solution for GSM phones, regardless of geographic region or frequency band.
"It is very clear that the world is not moving toward a single band anytime soon," said Iain Gillott, principal and founder of iGillottResearch, a market strategy consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry. "In fact, as additional spectrum is licensed around the world, the need for multi-band devices will increase. The wireless world is getting more complex and so devices will follow this trend."
The CX77314 consists of a GSM850/900 and GSM1800/1900 PA block, and 50-ohm fully matched input/output ports to reduce the number of external components required for a quad-band design. The CX77314 GSM power amplifier module is sampling now, with volume production slated for December 2001. <<
