Product Data Sheets

Analog Devices introduces a series of datasheets for the company’s highly integrated RFICs designed for LTE and 4G cellular base stations. As worldwide mobile carriers evolve toward 4G technologies, small higher-density radio card form factors are needed to support the delivery of continuous voice and high-data-rate services. ADI’s new ADRF670x series of modulators enable these high-density radio cards by combining multiple discrete functional blocks into a single device, while meeting the demanding performance required by higher-capacity base stations.
