First tape-out release on April 15 of 2015
Kangxi Communication Technologies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., which is committed to delivering high performance, low power loss RF Front-End IC products, announced to release company’s first high-efficiency high-linearity 5G FEM KCT8522H today. KCT8522H has been taped out on April 15 of 2015. And testing results showed a satisfied data.
KCT8522H is operating in 5GHz range. It is assembled in a 3*3mm package and using of pin-to-pin design with other widespread products in the market. KCT8522H fully considers the compatibility of customer’s board, can be directly used on variety of customer platforms, such as Broadcom, Qualcomm, MEDIATEK, etc. It also supports multiple standards including IEEE 802.11ac.
KCT8522H integrates a high-efficiency power amplifier (PA), a low noise amplifier (LNA), a T/R switch and the associated matching network all in a GaAs device. The testing data of first tape-out shows high performance with 19dBm@-35dB output power, which embodies the strength of KCT R&D team in RF Front-end IC field.
“The first tape-out for KCT8522H means a great deal to our company,” said CTO Simone, “It is a good start as we expected, we learned a lot experience, which is very helpful for the following products developing.”
