3G Base Station Amplifiers That Can Reduce Waste Heat Nearly 50%

triquint tested the first of its new HV-HBT amplifiers in a design commonly used by base station amplifier manufacturers that pairs devices in a 'Doherty' configuration. Used in this manner, the devices delivered an efficiency level of 57%, surpassing the efficiencies available using either conventional laterally-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors or more expensive gallium nitride (GaN) devices.  more
