Furthermore, the bill of materials (BOM) cost is reduced by up to 50%, and is up to eight times lower than other digital pre-distortion (DPD) solutions on the market. The SC2200 application, which occupies less than 2.5 square centimeters of board space, substantially increases power amplifier efficiency while consuming less than 1.5 W when both channels are fully operational. This allows manufacturers to realize significant competitive advantages and helps operators meet their requirements for reduced operating and deployment costs.

With mobile data traffic increasing exponentially, the communications industry is migrating from voice-centric macro networks to heterogeneous networks with improved coverage and capacity. The SC2200 is a superior alternative to the inefficient method of operating power amplifiers in back-off mode and is preferable to DPD because it requires no software or complex algorithm development. It features an integrated pre-amplifier and a single 1.8V power supply, and it operates optimally for a wide range of power amplifier architectures, technologies, and power levels. The linearizer is suitable for 2G, 3G, and 4G, including TD-LTE and LTE-FD systems. It is ideal for cellular infrastructure applications such as macro and micro cell base stations, distributed antenna systems (DAS), active antenna systems (AAS), remote radio heads, and other multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.
