GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2000--
GaAs HBT Device Designed for
CDMA and TDMA PCS Systems
RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: RFMD), a leading provider of
proprietary radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for wireless
communications applications, has developed a new broadband linear
amplifier designed specifically for digital communications systems.
With a frequency range of 1710MHz-1910MHz, the new RF2351 is
suitable for use in CDMA or TDMA systems in the PCS band.
Operating on a 3V-6V power supply, the RF2351 offers band selection
for use with split-band filters, as well as, bias optimization through
adjustment of its power-down voltage. At 3.5V, the device delivers
+16dBm OP1dB, a 21dB gain and a 2.5dB noise figure.
Typical applications for the RF2351, in addition to digital PCS systems,
include GSM systems, wireless local loop systems and wideband CDMA
systems. Manufactured using an advanced gallium arsenide process
technology (GaAs HBT), the component is featured in an MLF-16
package, priced at $1.10 per unit in order quantities of 10,000 or more.
RFMD can also provide fully assembled evaluation boards.
