PCS Duplexer Minimizes Power Consumption

( 1 Mar 2008 )

Avago Technologies has released its fourth generation PCS duplexer, the ACMD-7403, which offers transmitter insertion loss to minimize power consumption and superior receiver insertion loss for receiver sensitivity. The PCS duplexer is designed for CDMA and UMTS mobile phone, data card, modem and femtocell applications.

The device delivers a 2.7dB maximum Tx Band insertion loss which lowers power consumption. A 3.2dB maximum Rx Band insertion loss achieves receiver sensitivity. The ACMD-7403 enhances the sensitivity and dynamic range of CDMA and UMTS receivers by providing more than 52dB attenuation of the transmitted signal at the receiver input and more than 44dB rejection of transmit-generated noise in the receive band.

The PCS duplexer measures 3x3x1.2mm, and provides maximum design flexibility with no compromise in electrical performance. It also achieves a high power rating of +33dBm absolute maximum Tx power and is RoHS compliant.
