The RF5602 is a linear power amplifier IC designed specifically for medium power applications. The device is manufactured on an advanced InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 802.11b/g/n access point transmitters.

RF Micro Devices, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance semiconductor components, introduced the RF6460, RFMD's most highly integrated and scalable 3G/4G cellular front end platform. The RF6460 front end platform features an ultra-compact "converged" multi-band, multimode architecture (2G/2.5G/3G/4G)

The ML5830 is a single chip fully integrated Amplitude Shift Keyed (ASK) and Frequency Shift Keyed (FSK) transmitter developed for a variety of applications operating in the 5.790GHz to 5.840GHz band. The ML5830 ASK modulator is designed for symbol rates of 512ksps, 1024ksps, and 2048ksps.

The SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z InGaP PAs address base station applications across all cellular standards and frequencies. Operated as Class A PAs, these devices have unmatched performance where backed off linearity is crucial to HPA performance.

The RF3161 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module with integrated power control that provides over 50 dB of control range. The device is a self-contained 6mmx6mmx1mm module with 50 Ohm input and output terminals. The device is designed for use as the final RF amplifier in GSM850, EGSM900, DCS and PCS handheld digital cellular equipment and other applications.

Available in hard copy and CD, the Designer’s Handbook showcases RFMD’s broad product portfolio of RF systems and solutions for applications that drive mobile communications.

RFMD’s newest power integrated circuit (PowerIC) broadband power amplifier (PA), operates over a very wide range of microwave frequencies, making it ideal for multiple band and broadband applications.

RFMD’s family of gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), the RF386X, offer capabilities from 700 to 3800 MHz and provide the best-in-class combination of low noise and high linearity performance, as compared to competing solutions.

RFMD introduces the RF393X family of 48V gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors. Offering enhanced performance from 10W to 120W and very wide tunable bandwidth, this portfolio of 48V GaN transistors demonstrates the superior combination of high power and bandwidth offered by RFMD’s GaN technology versus competing GaAs and silicon LDMOS technologies.

The POLARIS 2™ TOTAL RADIO™ module solution is comprised of a cellular transceiver module and a cellular transmit module for handsets operating on the GSM/GPRS and GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks.
