PulseWave RF Makes Available Samples of Industry’s First Digital
Power Amplifier Chipset Module for Wireless Base Stations
New Technology Reduces Overall Base Station Capital Costs by 20 Percent
LAS VEGAS – April 5, 2006 – At the CTIA Wireless 2006 conference, PulseWave
RF™, Inc. (formerly PropheSi Technologies™, Inc.) today announced limited prototype
sample availability of its digital multi-carrier power amplifier (MCPA) module. The new
PulseWave RF proprietary Class M Power technology provides an unparalleled level of
performance and integration, and is the wireless infrastructure industry’s first digital
amplifier architecture. PulseWave RF will conduct private demonstrations of the Class M
Power module at the CTIA Wireless conference.
“The PulseWave RF digital power amplifier module is very impressive technology,” said
Ian Galton, professor at the University of California, San Diego. “Using a combination of
radical creativity and excellent engineering, the PulseWave RF engineers solved
fundamental problems that have prevented others from achieving such outstanding
performance with digital power amplifiers.”
Designed to meet the air interface requirements of CDMA 2000, WCDMA,
ODFMA/WiMAX, and future standards, the new Class M Power module will reduce the
amplifier cost and form factor by 50 percent and operate at 25 percent efficiency. The net
effect will be a 20 percent overall reduction in the capital cost of the base station. In
addition to these performance improvements, the digital architecture sets new industry
benchmarks for size by integrating the amplifier digitization, up-conversion, linearization
and amplification functionality into a single, self-contained module that’s a mere 2 ¼” x
2 ¾” (60 mm x 70 mm) in size. The initial Class M Power offering is rated at 100 Watts
of peak power and 20 watts of average power. The architecture can also scale from 5
Watts to 160 Watts of linearized average power.
“In recent years, wireless base station manufacturers have been severely challenged by
the need to increase the performance and reduce the cost of their analog RF amplifier
solutions,” said Graham Haddock, president and CEO of PulseWave RF. “By evolving to
a digital architecture, manufacturers can simultaneously reduce the cost and size, while
increasing the efficiency of their base stations. As the Class M Power technology
matures, we also believe it will continue to deliver improvements across all performance
dimensions.”
Availability
A limited number of prototype evaluation kits of the Class M Power digital MCPA
module will be available for the North American cellular band – 869-894 MHz – in Q2
2006. The first commercial version of the module will be generally available in the
800/900 MHz frequency range (including WCDMA) in 2007. For more information, visit
PulseWave RF at CTIA Wireless 2006 in booth #1966 or visit www.pulsewaverf.com.
