ANADIGICS WLAN POWER AMPLIFIERS
TECHNOLOGY
The message is simple: Linearity enables high data rates; Power enables range; Smart power and linearity
enable long battery life. ANADIGICSโ€™ family of single and dual-band power ampli๏ฌ ers provide the WLAN industry
with the best combination of linearity, power and ef๏ฌ ciency. By optimizing the strengths of the InGaP HBT
integrated circuit process, ANADIGICS PA products greatly enhance the performance of WLAN chipsets used
in network interface cards and access points. Our unique proprietary technology and integration capability
greatly reduces radio front-end component count and increases overall system ruggedness in high-volume
manufacturing.

THE STRENGTH OF DUAL BAND WLAN
The current state of the WLAN marketplace can be a confusing one, though the end goals for all are very
clear: Low-cost connectivity solutions that enable ubiquitous coverage and high data rates. To achieve
this, the industry is fostering both the convergence and coexistence of the complimentary 802.11a, b, and
g standards. The 11b and 11g standards are converging at 2.4 GHz, while the 11a standard coexists at
5 GHz. Several applications such as low-power handhelds focus on single-band implementations to maintain
the necessary low price points. ANADIGICS offers several single-band power ampli๏ฌ ers in 3 x 3 x 1 mm
packages to serve the needs of these applications.
To ultimately meet the mobile needs of the WLAN user, the system must have the ability to migrate seamlessly
from one standard to another and back again, each time optimizing the userโ€™s coverage and data rate.
ANADIGICS is developing this capability with cost-effective, high-integration dual-band power ampli๏ฌ ers that
enable maximum range and data rates throughout the coverage area independent of the prevailing standard.
With the functionality of three standards in one package, ANADIGICSโ€™ dual-band PAs offer high output power
in the simplest, smallest implementation available.
