MwT released a family of eight high linearity power amplifiers (PA) for Wi-Fi (802.11) and WiMAX (802.16d/e) standards for all three frequency bands, 2.4-2.7 GHz, 3.3- 3.7 GHz, and 4.9-5.9GHz.

MwT has started shipping its WPS-545922-02, a high linearity power amplifier module (PAM), to a first-tier telecom system company in production volume for high data rate wireless communication applications including OFDM digital radio systems.

The WPS-545922-02 is a highly integrated PA module with fully matched input and the output terminals. No external matching elements are required. The PAM belongs to the WPS (Wireless Power Series) PAM products family targeted for 802.16 WiMAX, 802.11 Wireless LAN and other high data rate wireless radio link applications.

This WPS product family includes high linearity PAM products operating at 2.5, 3.5 and 5.9 GHz frequency bands with up to 5 W peak power and up to 1 W linear average output power at 2% EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) under 64QAM digital modulation scheme, enabling radio systems to achieve highest data rate with minimum power consumption.
