Stanford Microdevices Inc. Targets 3rd Generation `3G' Wireless Infrastructure Equipment With High Performance InGaP/GaAs HBT MMIC Amplifiers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2000 Stanford Microdevices (Nasdaq: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 ), a leading designer and supplier of high-performance radio frequency (RF) components for communications equipment manufacturers, today announced the release of an advanced family of amplifier products that offer superior linearity, wide frequency response and low power consumption for more efficient wireless basestation transceiver design. NGA-x86 series are broadband MMIC (Monolithic Microwave IC) An integrated circuit used in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones. Also known as "monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave IC," MMICs combine transistors and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, etc. amplifiers offering excellent linearity and wide frequency response for applications operating from DC to 8 GHz. These devices were designed with state-of-the-art InGaP/GaAs process technology with very low thermal resistance for improved reliability and superior mean time to failure (MTTF See reliability. ) ratings. The NGA-1 through NGA-6 offer small signal gain ranging from 12 to 19 dB with output IP3 ranging from +27 to 39.5dBm. These unconditionally stable RFICs utilize a Darlington configuration for broadband performance and are ideal for use in applications covering cellular, WLL See wireless local loop and PHS-WLL. , W-CDMA See WCDMA. and PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995.
