AWR Corporation has released NXP Semiconductor's ultra-wideband (UWB) Doherty reference design for Microwave Office. The updated release features NXP’s BLF884P and BLF884PS transistors for ultra-wideband Doherty power amplifiers operating from 470 to 806 MHz and a 70 W DVB-T UWB LDMOS reference design using NXP’s patent-pending architecture capable of operating over an ultra-wideband spectrum in the UHF broadcast spectrum.
Similarly, an updated NXP Semiconductor's laterally-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) Large Signal Device model library is also now ready for use within AWR’s Microwave Office software. It includes RF power transistors designed specifically for the 2.45 GHz ISM frequency band, enabling RF energy to be used as a clean, highly efficient and controllable heat source. Optimally matched to the ISM band, the NXP BLF2425M and BLF25M series of RF power transistors achieve best-in-class efficiencies in excess of 52% and offer a full range of power levels between 12 and 350 W for use in home appliances for cooking, heating and drying; precision medical devices and automotive ignition .
A demonstration of this was shown at the European Microwave Week in Nurewmberg.
