Empower RF Systems has completed both Class AB and Doherty designs for next generation 700 MHz LTE PA modules. These first units are technology demonstration platforms which highlight complex, digital waveform amplification as well as design for manufacturing. Key features include ARM based / web addressable control, advanced analog predistortion, 40W output power (LTE Compliant), Power Added Efficiencies from 24% for Class AB (746 to 806 MHz) and up to 32% with the narrower band Doherty designs (746 to 776 MHz and 776 to 806 MHz). The units will be on display at Empower’s booth during IMS2011 – booth 947 and 1047. Specific inquiries and requests for technical assistance can be directed to sales@empowerrf.com.
