July 11, 2006

ANADIGICS announced that the company is supplying indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) power amplifiers (PAs) to ZTE for the F866 WCDMA handset. The F866 features an integrated MP3 audio player, digital camera with video capabilities, and two-inch color screen. ANADIGICS' AWT6252 IMT-band wideband CDMA (WCDMA) PA provides ZTE with the performance and reliability needed for the advanced design of the F866.

"We are pleased that ZTE has selected our world-class power amplifiers for the F866 3G handset," said Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Products at ANADIGICS. "ANADIGICS' 3G power amplifier portfolio is now enabling handsets, PDAs, data cards, and embedded modules from some of the world's largest manufacturers. We look forward to continue supporting ZTE in its rapidly expanding 3G business."

The AWT6252 4 mm by 4 mm PA module optimizes efficiency for different output power levels and offers a shutdown mode with low leakage current. This PA provides 41% power added efficiency at 27.5 dBm and 22% power added efficiency at 16 dBm, resulting in superior handset talk and idle times. This module utilizes advanced InGaP HBT technology to provide state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness.
