May 13, 2009... Anadigics Inc., of Warren, New Jersey USA, announced that its AWT6221 HELP3 WCDMA dual-band, power amplifier (PA), has won a China Telecommunication Technology Innovation Award. The company was presented with the 'Excellent Achievement Award' in the Wireless Communication Technology & Solution class. Anidigics points out that it is the only RF provider to be recognized in this category. Anadigics notes that the prestigious award is approved by the China Industry and Information Technology Ministry and was introduced in 2006 to encourage the development of innovative information and telecommunication products in China.

The company contends that the award-winning AWT6221 PA reduces average current consumption by 75% and delivers an increase in talk-time of up to 25%. Also, the company says that through selectable bias modes, the HELP3 PAs achieve optimal efficiency across the low-range and mid-range output power levels. At low power levels the intelligent bias circuit AWT6221 reportedly reduces the current consumption to 8mA. The company says that the integration of two independent PA chains enables the AWT6221 to deliver uncompromised performance in both frequency bands while conserving circuit board area. "It is a tremendous honor for Anadigics' innovative power amplifier technology to be recognized by the China Industry and Information Technology Ministry, and we are very proud to be the sole RF PA supplier to receive this distinguished award," commented Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior VP and General Manager of RF Products at Anadigics.
