First Generation High Voltage Vertical FET

byHVVi Semiconductors Inc.

Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifiers play a critical role in a broad range of wireless applications, including infrastructure for mobile devices and cell phones, broadcasting and medical equipment, satellite and military communications, emergency radios, and radar. Increasing demands on overall system performance, in turn, translates into added pressure on power amplifiers to deliver excellent efficiency (for low power consumption), linearity, and reliability at a reasonable size and cost.

New Products

Acceleware: The ClusterInABox™ Quad
Run Simulations up to 30X Faster • Products get to market faster (three times as fast as the Accelerator - A30) • Extensive optimization of design • Determine design problems earlier in the development cycle • Supports Simulation Sizes up to 200 Mcells • Simulations such as full body or vehicle models with small complicated features are best targeted at this platform Soft Memory Limit • Simulations that do not fit within the 6 GB of memory in the ClusterInABox Quad (Q30) will share memory with the host system Supports Complex Feature Models • Allows for fast and accurate models of complex simulations • Reliably tested and proven scientific models Pre-Configured or Certified Workstations Available

Aeroflex: New RF Spectrum Analyzer Option and P25 Capabilities for the 3500 Hand-held Radio Test Set
Aeroflex today announced the release of a new RF spectrum analyzer option for the 3500 hand-held 1 GHz Radio Test Set. The new spectrum analyzer option now allows users to see the signals they are receiving. In addition, the 3500 will have P25 parametric test capabilities by summer 2008, making it even more versatile.

Ansoft Corp.: TPA v5
This latest version of TPA introduces new automation, design flow and simulation capability needed for the extraction of the electrical characteristics of complex high-performance ball-grid array (BGA) style packaging, including wirebond (WBBGA), flip-chip (FCBGA), chip-scale packages (CSPs) and System in Packages (SiP).

CST of America Inc.: CST MICROSTRIPES™
CST MICROSTRIPES™ is a powerful 3D electromagnetic simulation tool, used extensively for solving the most challenging radiation problems including complex antenna structures, installed performance, EMC/EMI/E3 issues and more.

RFMD: InGaP HBT Power Amplifiers for Wireless Infrastructure Applications
RFMD's new SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z are Indium Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) power amplifiers (PAs). These PAs are one-watt and two-watt respectively. Operated as Class A PA devices, they exhibit unmatched performance where backed off linearity is crucial to high power amplifier (HPA) performance in today’s wireless infrastructure marketplace.

Synergy Microwave Corp.: MTS2500DS synthesizer series
A new standard for miniature synthesizers with a resolution of 1Hz and outstanding phase noise and excellent spurious suppression. The first model introduced in the series, the MTS2500-110250 covers the frequency range from 1100 MHz to 2500 MHZ. It is available in 4 versions. Controlling the synthesizer is made easy with SMC's standardized control interface via a standard 3.3V SPI port.

Dr. Robert Aigner
Director - R&D Acoustic Technologies, TriQuint Semiconductor

A bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter with ground-breaking, standard-setting performance would offer a tuning range far beyond today’s established outer limits. Can the center frequency tuning range of BAW filters be extended beyond 2% up to 5%, or perhaps even three to four times that amount?
