RFHIC’s GaN-on-SiC solutions featuring MaxLinear’s DPD at IMS 2024

South Korea, Gwacheon - June 18, 2024 - RFHIC (KOSDAQ:A218410) 

RFHIC demonstrates latest 40W and 80W GaN SiC solutions featuring MaxLinear’s DPD at IMS 2024 Washington

RFHIC will showcase a live demonstration of their latest 40W and 80W GaN on SiC transistor solutions at IMS 2024, featuring MaxLinear's Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technology.

In line with industry’s current focus on energy savings, the demonstration will highlight a comprehensive range of integrated power amplifier solutions tailored for 5G macrocell applications including Open RAN O-RUs.

RFHIC’s power amplifier models combined with MaxLinear’s high-performance DPD linearization technology enables RF developers to deliver high output power amplifier solutions with both outstanding efficiency and emissions performance.
These integrated PA and DPD solutions enable a new generation of power efficient RU products, significantly reducing product size and weight and, most importantly, dramatically enhancing energy savings (and thereby reducing MNO energy costs) by 30% or more compared to other solutions.

By pre-testing and validating with MaxLinear’s highly integrated single-chip RU SoC, Sierra, RFHIC and MaxLinear together offer end-to-end reference designs that lower the development investment required by radio vendors and enable faster time to market for new RU products.

At IMS, RFHIC will demo the following products utilizing MaxLinear’s cutting-edge DPD solution:

• SDM19007-30H + ID19801D (Band 2, 1930-1995MHz )
• SDM21007-30H + ID22801D (Band 66, 2110-2200MHz)
• SDM39005-30H + ID41461DR (n77, 3700-4100MHz )

RFHIC’s ID19801D and ID22801D models are designed to operate at peak powers of nearly 800W and average powers of 100W, covering Band 2 and 66 frequencies. Both models are equipped with our new high-power package resulting in 30-40% space reduction as well as eliminating mismatches between packages and providing cost benefits.

RFHIC’s ID41461DR model provides outstanding linearity and is the only 40W solution meeting FCC standards over a 400MHz bandwidth in the n77 band.

RFHIC’s turn-key EVB solution provides a 50-ohm matched two-stage driver and a main stage GaN on SiC transistor, complete with a circulator at the output end. This design minimizes test result variations due to experimental conditions and is easily integrated directly into user systems. The new offerings also mark a significant advancement over previous models, featuring a much smaller design footprint that allows for faster and easier integration.

“Combining RFHIC technology with MaxLinear SoC-powered linearization provides the highest performance solutions available on the market for high power macrocell RU use cases,” said Puneet Sethi, MaxLinear’s Vice President & General Manager of Wireless Infrastructure. “And using our PA characterization tools, we enable our customers to rapidly optimize PA performance, reducing the optimization cycle from multiple months to a few days.”
