 RFMD’s
new
RF3235 and
RF3237, paired with one or more discrete 3G power
amplifiers such as RF722x or RF724x, enable best-in-class
performance at the lowest total solution cost for 3G
entry platforms.
RF3235 and
RF3237 are quad-band GSM/GPRS Class 12-compliant
transmit modules. They include four ( RF3237)
to six ( RF3235)
UMTS transmit/receive ports that also serve as GSM Rx
ports and are pin-to-pin compatible. Both build on RFMD's
PowerStar® integrated power control technology, SOI
(silicon-on-insulator) switch technology, and integrated
transmit filtering. These devices are designed for use
as the final portion of the transmitter section in a
GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900/UMTS handset and eliminates
the need for a PA-to-antenna switch module-matching
network. 50Ω matched input and output ports require
no external matching components.
Features
- High Efficiency at Rated POUT
- VBATT = 3.5V
- GSM850/EGSM900 = 43%
- DCS1800/PCS1900 = 36%
- No External DC Blocking Needed on TRx Ports
- 0.6db LB, 0.8dB HB TRx Insertion Loss for 3G
Efficiency and Improved Rx Sensitivity
- Four (RF3237) to Six (RF3235) High Linearity
TRx Ports
- >35dB Isolation for Most Port Combinations
Applications
- Single through Quad-Band UMTS Handsets and Connected
Devices Including TDSCDMA and CDMA
- GSM850/EGSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900 Products
- 3V Multimode Mobile Applications
- GPRS Class 12 Compliant
These products are currently available in production
