ANADIGICS expands WiMAX portfolio with new RF power amplifier

Designed for WiMAX and WiBro Applications, New AWM6422 Amplifier Delivers Exceptional Linearity and Efficiency at High Levels of Output Power

Barcelona, Spain, and Warren, New Jersey, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the broadband wireless and wireline communications markets, today announced its new AWM6422 Power Amplifier at the Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona, Spain.

By offering the AWM6422, which operates in the 2.3-2.4 GHz frequency band allocated for broadband mobile wireless services, ANADIGICS expands its portfolio of leading edge products for WiMAX and WiBro (Korea) systems. The new AWM6422 is already being integrated into USB Adaptors manufactured for a major Korean telecom company.

A variation of ANADIGICS' widely accepted AWM6423, which was introduced last year, the new AWM6422 Power Amplifier (PA) is a high performance device with exceptional linearity and efficiency at high levels of output power.

Designed for WiMAX and WiBro applications in the 2.3-2.4 GHz band, the AWM6422 supports the IEEE 802.16e-2005 wireless standard as well as the IEEE 802.16d-2004 and the ETSI EN 301-021 standards. Optimized for use in mobile devices, the AWM6422 requires a nominal +3.3 V supply, but also provides enhanced RF performance when used with supply voltages as high as +4.2V.

"With today's announcement of our new AWM6422, ANADIGICS continues its leadership in providing state-of-the-art PA technology for wireless product and system design engineers worldwide," said Ron Michels, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Broadband Products, ANADIGICS, Inc.

"Our growing portfolio of WiMAX power amplifiers provides the high linearity, advanced functional integration and superior power efficiency required to support the high performance requirements of today's rapidly emerging broadband systems."

In addition to using ANADIGICS' patented, industry-leading InGaP-Plus(TM) Technology, the new AWM6422 Power Amplifier features:
-- Greater than 30 dB of RF Gain
-- Low EVM contribution at high output power levels:
- 2.5 per cent EVM at +22 dBm (+3.3 V Supply)
- 4 per cent EVM at +23.5 dBm (+3.3 V Supply)
- 2.5 per cent EVM at +23.5 dBm (+4.2 V Supply)
- 4 per cent EVM at +25 dBm (+4.2 V Supply)
-- Integrated 25 dB Attenuator
-- Integrated Output Power Detector
-- 50 ohm Matched RF Ports for Reduced External Component Count
-- RoHS Compliant 4.5 mm x 4.5 mm x 1.4 mm Surface Mount Package.

ANADIGICS' new AWM6422 2.3-2.4 GHz WiMAX/WiBro amplifier is sampling now with volume production scheduled for the end of Q1 2008. For a detailed product data sheet on the AWM6422, visit: www.anadigics.com/products/wlan_wimax wimax_802_16_power_amplifiers/awm6422
