ANADIGICS Unveils Power Amplifier Duplexer (PAD) Family

ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD) introduced a new family of dual-band power amplifier duplexer (PAD) modules based on the company’s innovative third generation High-Efficiency-at-Low-Power (HELP3E™) technology. By combining power amplifiers with high performance duplexers, ANADIGICS’ new family of PAD front-end modules deliver optimal RF performance and longer battery-life, while reducing device design and assembly complexity. These modules include two separate RF paths in a compact 4.5 mm by 6 mm package, allowing 3G / 4G dual-band PCB footprint reduction of up to 40%.

ANADIGICS’ family of dual-band power amplifier duplexer module use the company’s exclusive InGaP-Plus™ technology to achieve optimal efficiency across low-range and mid-range output power levels. The internal design optimizes the power amplifier and duplexer match to deliver greater overall system efficiency and RF front-end performance.
