“NXP Semiconductors N.V. today introduced its third generation of Airfast products which include four LDMOS transistors for cellular macro base stations. The new Airfast 3 technology raises the bar in technology and meets the stringent requirements of all current wireless standards with wide instantaneous bandwidths to cover an entire cellular band using a single device. NXP’s Airfast 3 delivers industry-leading performance in key areas that include efficiency, gain, RF output power, and signal bandwidth, while significantly reducing the footprint required to deliver a given level of RF output power. When compared to Airfast 2, this third generation delivers up to four percent greater efficiency (53 percent final-stage efficiency and up to 50 percent lineup efficiency), a 20 percent improvement in thermal performance, up to 90 MHz full-signal bandwidth, and space savings up to 30 percent.”
