Small and efficient, the SKY77706 LTE PA module is designed for multiple handset and data card applications and allows consumers to enjoy the benefits of high-speed data services such as advanced Web TV broadcasting, online gaming and Web conferencing. Today’s 4G systems offer a comprehensive solution where data and streamed multimedia can be given to users anytime, anywhere at higher data rates than previous generation networks.
added efficiency (PAE).
The single gallium arsenide (GaAs) microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) contains all active circuitry in the module, including the PA, input, and interstage matching. The SKY77706 is manufactured using Skyworks’ bipolar field effect transistor (BiFET) process which provides for all positive voltage direct current (DC) supply operation while maintaining high efficiency and good linearity
Veeco reveals Optical Profiler for Automated HB-LED Production
ContourGT-X8 PSS is specifically tailored for surface examination of Patterned Sapphire Substrates (PSS)
“Skyworks and Samsung are pleased to develop LTE technologies for today’s leading handset OEMs, infrastructure suppliers, and operators worldwide,” said Gene A. Tkachenko, senior director of engineering at Skyworks. “With LTE network commitments increasing worldwide, Skyworks is once again at the forefront of enabling next-generation solutions to help boost network throughput, improve efficiency and performance, and simplify roaming to deliver the ultimate consumer experience regardless of the platform.”
Samsung’s GT-B3710 can be connected to laptop computers or other portable devices via universal- serial bus (USB). It incorporates the firm’s in-house developed LTE modem chip supporting the 2.6 gigahertz (GHz) band for LTE service. Samsung’s LTE solution is fully compliant with the latest 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE Release 8 (Rel-8) standard.
The SKY77706 PAM is a fully matched, surface mount module developed for LTE/EUTRAN applications. This small and efficient module packs full coverage of LTE FDD Band VII into a single compact package. The device meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of LTE modulation with QPSK/16QAM modulations from 1.4 megahertz (MHz) to 20 MHz bandwidth and full or partial resource block allocations with high power

The ContourGT-X8 PSS combines advanced non- contact 3D measurement capabilities with unique Veeco PSS metrology hardware and software technology, and a Wafer Automation System Developer’s Kit (SDK) that provides a tailored solution for PSS quality assurance and quality control applications where high-throughput and repeatability capabilities are essential.
“With the rapid growth of PSS as a vital technology for enhancing efficiency and ensuring color consistency in HB-LEDs, measuring their feature size and consistency on sapphire wafers is becoming a critical step in HB-LED manufacturing,” said Mark R. Munch, Ph.D., Executive VP, Veeco Metrology & Instrumentation.
“Now, the ContourGT-X8 PSS gives wafer suppliers and HB-LED device manufacturers an affordable way to obtain high-throughput, 3D surface metrology to enhance productivity, while assuring the quality of their end products”, he added.
Ross Q. Smith, VP and General Manager, Veeco Optical Industrial Metrology, commented, “We have worked closely with PSS wafer suppliers and HB- LED manufacturers to develop the ContourGT-X8 PSS, ensuring that it has the full breadth of capabilities necessary to deliver the required measurements. In addition, we have teamed with leading wafer automation providers such as CHAD Industries to develop a compelling value proposition for HB-LED manufacturers who often
