Sirenza Microdevices Ships One Millionth Personal Handyphone System (PHS) Transceiver IC.BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- Sirenza Microdevices, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : SMDI SMDI Simplified Message Desk Interface (telephone network service, customer interface specification) SMDI Station Message Desk Interface SMDI SCSI Musical Data Interchange SMDI Storage Module Disk Interconnect ) today announced that it has shipped its one millionth PHS (Personal Handyphone System) A TDMA-based cellular phone system introduced in Japan in mid-1995. Operating in the 1880-1930 MHz band, PHS uses microcells that cover an area only 100 to 500 meters in diameter, resulting in lower equipment costs but requiring more base transceiver to major handset manufacturers in Asia from the ML product family recently acquired from Micro Linear Corporation. Sirenza's family of 1.9GHz PHS transceivers integrate transmit, receive, and synthesizer synthesizer Machine that electronically generates and modifies sounds, frequently with the use of a digital computer, for use in the composition of electronic music and in live performance. functions into a single silicon germanium (SiGe) A semiconductor material made from silicon and germanium. Germanium is very similar to silicon, but when one layer is grown on top of the other to form the base of the transistor, the resulting transistor can switch faster and yield higher performance. (SiGe) IC and were the industry's first products in mass production to include an on-chip, +21dBm power amplifier Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. . The PHS transceiver line is designed for ease of use and can be operated with all common PHS baseband ICs on the market today. "Our PHS transceiver product line performs well and is cost competitive in the expanding PHS market," stated Steve Moore, Sirenza's strategic business unit director for consumer products. "The PHS market continues to grow throughout Asia, and we have received favorable feedback from major handset manufacturers thus far. We look forward to continued success with future releases of follow-on products to our family of PHS transceivers." "PHS is an important contributor for our new consumer business unit, and we are excited to achieve this volume production milestone," stated Norm Hilgendorf, president of Sirenza's SMDI segment. "The incorporation of the design capabilities underlying this highly integrated transceiver IC product family is important to Sirenza as we look to diversify our product portfolio and our global end markets."
