The AP2406 is a 1.5Mhz constant frequency, slope compensated current mode PWM step-down converter. The device integrates a main switch and a synchronous rectifier for high efficiency without an external Schottky diode. It is ideal for powering portable equipment that runs from a single cell lithium-Ion (Li+) battery. The AP2406 can supply 600mA of load current from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage. The output voltage can be regulated as low as 0.6V. The AP2406 can also run at 100% duty cycle for low dropout operation, extending battery life in portable system. Idle mode operation at light loads provides very low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications.
The AP2406 is offered in a low profile (1mm) 5-pin, thin SOT package, and is available in an adjustable version and fixed output voltage of 1.2V, 1.5V and 1.8V
This book gives a comprehensive overview of the technologies for the advances of
mobile radio access networks. The topics covered include linear transmitters,
superconducting filters and cryogenic radio frequency (RF) front head, radio over
fiber, software radio base stations, mobile terminal positioning, high speed
downlink packet access (HSDPA), multiple antenna systems such as smart
antennas and multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) systems, orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, IP-based radio access networks
(RAN), autonomic networks, and ubiquitous networks.
The growing interest for high data rate wireless communications over the last few decades
gave rise to the emergence of a number of wideband wireless systems. The resulting scarcity
of frequency spectrum has been forcing wireless system designers to develop methods that
will push the spectral efficiency to its limit.
Emerging technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX are profoundly changing the
landscape of wireless broadband. As we evolve into future generation wireless
networks, a primary challenge is the support of high data rate, integrated multi-
media type traffic over a unified platform. Due to its inherent advantages in
high-speed communication, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
has become the modem of choice for a number of high profile wireless systems
(e.g., DVB-T, WiFi, WiMAX, Ultra-wideband).
The design and manufacturing of wireless radio frequency (RF) transceivers has developed rapidly in recent ten
yeas due to rapid development of RF integrated circuits and the evolution of high-speed digital signal
processors (DSP). Such high speed signal processors, in conjunction with the development of high resolution
analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters, has made it possible for RF designers to digitize
higher intermediate frequencies, thus reducing the RF section and enhancing the overall performance of the RF
section.
This book is intended to help electric power and telephone company
personnel and individuals interested in properly protecting critical tele-
communications circuits and equipment located in high voltage (HV)
environments and to improve service reliability while maintaining safe
working conditions. Critical telecommunications circuits are often
located in HV environments such as electric utility power plants,
substations, cell sites on power towers, and standalone telecommuni-
cations facilities such as 911 call centers and mountaintop telecom-
munications sites.
The first Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Wideband Code Division
Multiple Access (WCDMA) networks were launched during 2002. By the end of 2005
there were 100 open WCDMA networks and a total of over 150 operators having
frequency licenses for WCDMA operation. Currently, the WCDMA networks are
deployedinUniversalMobileTelecommunicationsSystem(UMTS)bandaround2GHz
in Europe and Asia including Japan and Korea. WCDMA in America is deployed in the
existing 850 and 1900 spectrum allocations while the new 3G band at 1700/2100 is
expected to be available in the near future. 3GPP has defined the WCDMA operation
also for several additional bands, which are expected to be taken into use during the
coming years.
Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers are used in everyday life for many applica-
tions including cellular phones, magnetic resonance imaging, semiconductor wafer
processing for chip manufacturing, etc. Therefore, the design and performance of
RF amplifiers carry great importance for the proper functionality of these devices.
Furthermore, several industrial and military applications require low-profile yet
high-powered and efficient power amplifiers.
Multi-carrier modulation? Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi-
plexing (OFDM) particularly? has been successfully applied to
a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past
several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer
standard for a diversity of important systems? the theory? algorithms?
and implementation techniques remain subjects of current interest.
This is clear from the high volume of papers appearing in technical
journals and conferences.
