The AWT6264 is a new 4G power amplifier (PA) that delivers high output power, exceptional linearity and extremely high efficiency for mobile WiMAX applications in the 2.3-2.7 GHz spectrum. Developed for use in handsets, PC cards/dongles and embedded WiMAX modules, the AWT6264 enables high performance mobile devices that conform to the IEEE802.16e standard and maximizes battery life for mobile WiMAX applications. The AWT6264 delivers industry-leading levels of power efficiency to manufacturers without compromising RF performance or operating bandwidth. The wide 2.3-2.7 GHz operating bandwidth of the AWT6264 enables OEMs to serve multiple geographies with a single device. In addition, the 4mm x 4mm x 1mm device, which includes fully-matched RF ports, an integrated output power detector and an integrated step attenuator, supports faster product development cycles and requires less PC board space than more discrete solutions...

Avago’s compact MGA-231T6 is the latest edition to its family of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with a new high-gain LNA with variable current and shutdown functions for use in GPS, unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands, and WiMax applications. Avago’s compact MGA-231T6 offers a very low noise figure combined with high linearity to help significantly improve the sensitivity of GPS receivers. This LNA targets designers of mobile handsets with GPS functions, recreational and navigation GPS receivers, and antennas. Housed in a compact 2.0 mm by 1.3 mm by 0.4 mm package, Avago’s MGA-231T6 only requires 4 to 5 external matching components to help reduce the amount of printed circuit board space and the number of components needed in the design. As a result, designers will be able to develop next-generation GPS applications that are more compact with more features and functions to satisfy the growing needs of consumers. The MGA-231T6 LNA uses Avago’s proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with a very low noise figure...

The TMS37157 PaLFI is the first member of a new product class featuring the industry's first passive low frequency interface (PaLFI) device designed to wirelessly supply an ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontroller (MCU) with energy to operate even if the optional battery is empty. PaLFI has the ability to remotely communicate with and power implantable medical devices, making procedures less invasive. Among numerous other potential applications, the device is also being used for production chain or container tracking and end of line configuration of electronic equipment such as CD/DVD players and measurement instruments. The PaLFI device combines a low frequency wireless interface with an SPI interface which ensures ultra-stable communication within a very well defined activation/communication zone...

The WHDI modules are available with a mini-PCI form-factor of 50mm*30mm and will also be offered with a standard Display-Mini card form-factor of 44.4mm*26mm based on the interface defined by the PCI SIG; which uses Displayport. Additionally, these cards are designed for the WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) standard and are capable of wirelessly delivering full uncompressed 1080p/60Hz HD content throughout the entire home. The AMIMON WHDI modules' compact form factor enables seamless integration into PCs. The WHDI modules are also designed for low power consumption suitable for battery-powered devices. Notebook PCs embedded with the new WHDI modules are expected to be in the market in 2010 offering consumers the ability to connect their notebook wirelessly to any WHDI-enabled HDTV or, through an external WHDI-to-HDMI adaptor, also to any HDTV. The new modules will also enable external wireless PC-to-TV accessories ('dongles') which connect to the PC and TV via HDMI...
