TriQuint Powers Linearized 3G / 4G Small Cell Solution TriQuint and Scintera have developed a design-ready, high-efficiency solution to power 'small cell' 3G / 4G / LTE base stations. Network operators see small cell base stations as a cost-effective remedy for capacity constraints and a means to enable 4G / LTE data rates. The new solution is the first to use a 12V power supply. TriQuint amplifiers deliver 2W (33dBm) of linear output power, supporting single or multiple carriers with 20 MHz of total signal bandwidth. "This innovation leverages market-tested solutions to simplify RF connectivity. The TriQuint amplifiers are very broadband, so two devices can support all cellular frequencies," said Brian P. Balut, VP, Networks. Contact TriQuint for design-ready, small cell base station RF solutions. View Publication of Linearized PA Solution for 3G / 4G Small Cell BTS (PDF Format).
