RFMD’s new RF3928B is a 65V 380W high power discrete amplifier designed for S-Band pulsed radar, Air Traffic Control and Surveillance, and general purpose broadband amplifier applications. The RF3928B is a matched GaN transistor in a hermetic, flanged ceramic package with advanced heat sink and power dissipation technologies.

RFMD announced the release of the RFFM6201, a 2.4GHz band single-chip Zigbee^® front-end module (FEM) featuring an integrated power amplifier, low noise amplifier, and diversity switch.

RFMD's innovative ZigBee product portfolio supports a wide range of Smart Energy, Home Area Network (HAN), and Machine-To-Machine (M2M) applications, and RFMD's products are featured on many of the industry's leading third-party chipsets and reference designs. RFMD's RF6555, for example, is mated with multiple leading reference designs and is optimized for battery-operated solutions, enabling low 70mA current consumption for ZigBee and other 2.4GHz applications.

RFMD has been named Best Supplier of 2011 by Lenovo Mobile Internet and Digital Home Business Group, the Lenovo subsidiary responsible for creating mobile Internet-focused devices, including tablets and smartphones, cloud computing, smart TV, and the digital home. RFMD has more than 10 products in volume production in support of Lenovo MIDH.

The RF5605 and RFFM420x family are 6 x 6mm high power, front end modules specifically designed for IEEE 802.11b/g/n WiFi 2.4 -2.5GHz customer premises equipment (CPE) applications. They each have an integrated three-stage linear power amplifier, Tx harmonic filtering, and SPDT switch. These modules also have a fully matched input and output for a 50O system and incorporate matching networks optimized for linear output power and efficiency.

RFMD’s new RF1293 and RF1293A Switch Filter Modules offer very low insertion loss along with excellent linearity performance and are ideal for multi-mode GSM, EDGE, LTE, and UMTS handset applications. These modules integrate low pass filtering on the GSM transmit paths, avoiding the need for external harmonic attenuation. They also integrate GSM receive bandpass filters and are compatible with +1.8V control logic.

RFMD's has started volume production of PowerSmart^™ power platform and RF724x ultra-high efficiency PAs to deliver unmatched performance in next-generation smartphones.

RFMD’s new RFFM3482E is a single-chip integrated FEM for high-performance WiFi applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. It addresses the need for aggressive size reduction for typical 802.11b/g/n front end designs and greatly reduces the number of components outside of the core chipset. RFFM3482E has an integrated b/g/n power amplifier, directional power detector, Rx balun, and Tx filtering. It is also capable of switching between WiFi Rx, WiFi Tx, and Bluetooth Rx/Tx operations. In a 3mmx3mmx0.45mm, 16-pin package, this module meets or exceeds the RF front end needs of 802.11b/g/n WiFi RF systems.

RFMD’s GaN CATV hybrids will be honored with dual Communications Technology Platinum Awards for Energy-Savings (“Green”) Technology and RF/HFC Technology during an awards ceremony in New York, Dec. 8, 2011. Platinum Awards from Communications Technology magazine recognize the broadband industry’s most innovative hardware, software, service, and marketing initiatives, as judged by a panel of industry experts.

RFMD’s new RFSA40x3 monolithic analog Temperature-Compensating Attenuators (TCAs) feature exceptional linearity over their entire gain control range. These TCAs are designed to offset the gain reduction of an RF component over temperature without the need for closed loop feedback. Three customer selectable temperature coefficients make these TCAs a flexible solution for RF lineups.
