Anadigics supplies PA modules to Lenovo

Anadigics Inc. is supplying Lenovo Group Ltd with InGaP HBT (indium gallium phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistor) PAs (power amplifiers) for their V858 camera phone.

According to Anadigics, the AWT6108 7mm-by-10mm quad-band PA module provides 55 percent efficiency for GSM bands and 50 percent efficiency for DCS/PCS bands, enabling longer talk time for handsets. It reduces time to market for GSM/GPRS handsets and decreases cost by simplifying handset calibration, which reduces handset development time and boosts production yields.

Bami Bastani, president, CEO of Anadigics, said, "The company's success in the GSM market continues to be driven by our best-of-breed PA products combined with strategic relationships with reference design companies and transceiver manufacturers."
