TriQuint Semiconductor Unveils New Industry-Leading Wireless Handset Front-End Module Products.HADRON hadron Any of the subatomic particles that are built from quarks and thus interact via the strong force. The hadrons fall into two groups: mesons and baryons. Except for protons and neutrons, which are bound in nuclei, all hadrons have short lives and are produced in PA Module(TM )Family, TRITIUM tritium (trĭt`ēəm), radioactive isotope of hydrogen with mass number 3. The tritium nucleus, called a triton, contains one proton and two neutrons. It has a half-life of 12.5 years and decays by beta-particle emission. PA-Duplexer Module(TM)Family, QUANTUM Tx Module(TM) Family -- Designed for Worldwide Use HILLSBORO, Ore. -- TriQuint Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TQNT), a leading manufacturer of RF front-end modules (FEMs) for wireless handsets, today unveiled details of its new product portfolio offering ultra-compact, high performance integrated system solutions for GSM / GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. / EDGE, WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) A 3G high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that use the TDMA or GSM technology worldwide, including AT&T (formerly Cingular) and T-Mobile in the U.S. and 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. standards. TriQuint's new products will debut at the GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain (12th-15th Feb 2007) and support its 'Global Handset Strategy' announced February 1st. The new, fully-optimized modules are created in concert with the world's largest transceiver and handset manufacturers, offering industry-leading integration, performance and size-reduction. TriQuint 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. Ralph Quinsey remarked that new members of GSM/EDGE, 3G WEDGE and CDMA product lines to be introduced at the 2007 GSM World Congress, will for the first time be branded into families. Like all of the company's handset products, TriQuint's new modules are designed to increase efficiency for extended talk-time, speed time-to-market and save RF front-end PC board space to enable the addition of multimedia and connectivity features in sleek, ergonomic mobile phones that consumers strongly favor. "The company's products are unique in their ability to economize e·con·o·mize v. e·con·o·mized, e·con·o·miz·ing, e·con·o·miz·es v.intr. 1. To practice economy, as by avoiding waste or reducing expenditures. 2. on space while improving performance. It is from physics that we derived the new family names of HADRON, TRITIUM and QUANTUM - a natural expression of key product characteristics: fundamental building blocks on which the greater-whole is based; small in size; and efficient power generation at high speed," said Shane Smith, TriQuint Director of Handset Product Marketing. TriQuint's HADRON PA Module(TM) family is an industry standard 7x7x1.1mm3 series of discrete PA modules that provide customers with a choice between EDGE-Linear and EDGE-Polar architectures. Both solutions are optimized to deliver the best possible talk time in GSM/GPRS and EDGE (8PSK (1) See preshared keys. (2) (Phase Shift Keying) A simple digital modulation technique that uses two different phase angles for 0 and 1. Quadrature PSK (QPSK) uses four phase shifts for each two bits of input. See phase modulation and DPSK. ) modes. TriQuint's HADRON II PA Module(TM) family is a new generation shrinking the form factor to 5x5x1.1mm3. TriQuint's new TRITIUM PA-Duplexer Module(TM) family includes versions that support both CDMA and WCDMA/HSDPA applications with 8x5x1.5mm3 modules integrating a duplexer and Tx interstage filter with a linear 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. - each optimized to major global geographic frequency bands. TriQuint's TRITIUM II PA-Duplexer Module(TM) family is a new generation, shrinking the form factor to 7x4x1.2mm3. The QUANTUM Tx Module(TM)family builds on the heritage of TriQuint's signature GSM/GPRS transmit modules integrating a GaAs pHEMT switch, low pass filters and a power amplifier along with all necessary matching/control circuits. The QUANTUM family now adds a full-featured quad-band EDGE-Linear version, and in support of its 2007 'Global Handset Strategy', a dual-band GSM/GPRS version for emerging entry-level markets. TriQuint's new QUANTUM II Tx Module(TM)family adds a WEDGE compatible multi-throw switch. QUANTUM plus TRITIUM modules provide a path to a complete, ultra-compact system solution for 3G WEDGE applications. All three families include ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine.
