PulseWave RF Completes Successful Demonstration of Industry's First Digital Power Amplifier Module for Wireless Base Stations.AUSTIN, Texas -- Ground-Breaking Technology Will Integrate Amplifier, Linearization In mathematics and its applications, linearization refers to finding the linear approximation to a function at a given point. In the study of dynamical systems, linearization is a method for assessing the local stability of an equilibrium point of a system of nonlinear differential and Up-Conversion Functions to Reduce Base Station Cost, Size and Power ConsumptionPropheSi Technologies(TM), Inc., a provider of semiconductor modules for high-efficiency wireless infrastructure power amplifiers, today announced it has changed its name to PulseWave RF(TM) and that it has successfully demonstrated its digital multi-carrier power amplifier (MCPA MCPA, MCP 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid; a weedkiller reported to be nontoxic at the levels likely to be encountered on pasture, though it has killed cattle dosed experimentally with large single doses. ) module, which enables the industry's first digital power amplifier for use in wireless base stations. Founded in 2002 and staffed by executives and engineers with previous experience at Motorola, Peregrine Semiconductor, Spectrian and Andrew Corporation Andrew Corporation is an American multinational producer of communications devices. Andrew is a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of communications equipment, services, and systems. , PulseWave RF selected its new name to reflect the digital nature of the company's next-generation power amplifier technology. Since its inception, PulseWave RF has focused development efforts on helping wireless base station equipment manufacturers move analog amplifiers into the digital age. The company's new technology, named Class M Power, is an MCPA digital multi-chip module that integrates all amplifier, linearization and up-conversion functionality into a 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" (60 mm x 70 mm) package. The new PulseWave RF technology can significantly reduce the cost, size and power consumption of wireless infrastructure base stations for CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. and 3G infrastructure amplifier markets as well as the emerging markets for WiMAX and other future standards. "We've recently completed successful lab tests of the industry's first digital wireless base station power amplifier module and we will begin sampling the modules in the second quarter of this year," said Graham Haddock, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of PulseWave RF. "Our Class M Power module is the key enabler for a simple, low cost digital transmitter with industry leading performance metrics." Mr. Haddock also added that, "we have only begun to realize the potential of this new architecture." Additional details on the digital power amplifier modules will be available in the second quarter.
