"We are proud to be working closely with Samsung Electronics to power high-throughput WiFi connectivity across a variety of smartphones and tablets, including the latest GALAXY Note 10.1," said Jonathan Griffith, vice president of WiFi Products at ANADIGICS. "Our 802.11ac FEICs leverage ANADIGICS' patented InGaP-Plus™ technology to deliver differentiated performance and integration. These advantages help manufacturers reduce time-to-market by simplifying RF design and improving manufacturability, while enabling longer battery life and higher data rates for an enhanced user experience."
ANADIGICS' AWL9293 2.4 GHz and AWL9581 5 GHz FEICs leverage the Company's patented InGaP-Plus technology and unique design architectures to combine a high performance power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass option, and RF switch on a single die. This level of integration greatly improves manufacturability and reliability, while reducing PCB space requirements. The complete family of 802.11ac FEICs provides outstanding error vector magnitude (EVM) and noise figure performance, which enables ultra-high data throughput.
ANADIGICS 802.11ac WiFi FEIC Family Key Facts and Highlights:
- Ultra-low EVM in the toughest 802.11ac modulation formats, enabling extremely high transmission data rates
- Best-in-class power efficiency for improved thermal characteristics to support MIMO applications
- Industry-leading integration of the PA, LNA with bypass option, and Tx/Rx switch to simplify RF design and reduce time-to-market
