SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NXP Semiconductors N.V.(NASDAQ:NXPI), today announced an expansion to its portfolio of 48V Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF power transistors optimized for Doherty power amplifiers for use in current and next-generation cellular base stations. The four new transistors collectively cover cellular bands from 1805 to 3600 MHz, meeting the needs of wireless carriers for superior performance at higher frequencies.
With the wireless spectrum shortage, wireless carriers are exploring higher frequencies to accommodate the exponential annual increases in traffic. These networks require RF power transistors and amplifiers that deliver higher performance over wider signal bandwidths, as well as higher efficiency and ruggedness, higher output power and smaller footprints.
The four new NXP GaN transistors are specifically designed to meet these challenges. The transistors have high efficiency and gain, and are extremely rugged, with the ability to deliver their rated performance with an impedance mismatch (VSWR) greater than 10:1. These transistors, designed for use in Doherty power amplifiers, are optimized for seamless integration with digital predistortion linearization systems.
The new products introduced today are:
“Cellular customers are actively pursuing GaN technology especially in higher frequency bands. Given its leadership in the cellular base station market, NXP is committed to being a dominant source of top-quality GaN products,” said Paul Hart, executive vice president and general manager of NXP’s RF power business unit. “Our new transistors fully harness the inherent strengths of GaN enabling broad bandwidth, efficient and compact solutions.”
