ANADIGICS Announces New Wireless Power Amplifier Patent Award.Business & Technology Editors WARREN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2001 ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAD ANAD Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders ANAD Anniston Army Depot ANAD Asociación Nacional de Abogados Democráticos (National Association of Democratic Lawyers, Mexico) ), a leading supplier of wireless and broadband communications solutions, has been awarded a patent for a newly designed gallium arsenide An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones, DVD players and fiber optics. (GaAs) multi-band amplifier. The patent, US Patent No. 6242986 entitled "Multiple-band amplifier", is the second to be granted to ANADIGICS for this amplifier circuit. The new GaAs Multi-band Amplifier Circuit, which has been designed for use in the wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. sector, is disclosed for operation at either the 800 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. or the 1900 MHz band, and provides the desired gain and input/output impedance. Switching impedance networks are used at the input and output of the amplifier to provide matching input impedance The input impedance, load impedance, or external impedance of a circuit or electronic device is the Thévenin equivalent impedance looking into its input. In audio systems and desired output impedance for operation in the two bands. Switching impedance networks are also used between any successive stages of the amplifier to provide proper inter-stage impedance. The dual band amplifier includes a bias control circuit that biases the amplifier to operate in A, B, AB or C mode. The amplifier can be used for the AMPS 800 or the GSM 900 operation, or any other wireless operation such as the PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. 1900, and can be switched between the two operations by simply applying a proper control signal to the amplifier. ANADIGICS (NASDAQ: ANAD) designs and manufactures radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC RFIC Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit RFIC Radio Frequency Interface Chip ) solutions for growing broadband and wireless communications markets.
