ANADIGICS, Inc., a world leader in radio frequency (RF) solutions, introduced two new high-power GaN infrastructure line amplifiers for CATV systems at ANGA COM 2015. The ACA2455 and ACA4733 power doublers are optimized for fiber deep, Node+0 networks, and node segmentation/split upgrades by delivering world-class output power, linearity and efficiency. With only 12.7 Watts of DC power consumption, these new line amplifiers offer the lowest cost per bit for all-digital content delivery. This efficiency helps MSOs better manage operating costs over the life of the network.
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, introduces the UltraCMOS® PE44820, an 8-bit digital phase shifter that covers a 358.6-degree phase range. This monolithic, digitally controlled product is easy to design-in and delivers exceptional phase accuracy and high linearity.
Skyworks introduces an ultra-broadband low-noise amplifier (LNA) with superior gain flatness and exceptional linearity. It is ideal for high performance cellular infrastructure, small cells, tower mounted amplifiers, remote radio units, repeaters, base stations and military LNA applications.
A consortium of Telecom industry vendors, IT companies, small and medium-sized enterprises and academic organisations in Europe has been awarded €8 million research funding to develop the infrastructure required to support the future 5G network and communication systems.
