Small Cells... The Next Big Thing

Designers of Small Cell BTS systems face many technical challenges when specifying and designing the RF front-end. In many ways, those challenges are similar to the ones faced by designers of mobile handsets. There are issues with size, power consumption, power added efficiency (PAE), receiver sensitivity, frequency band coverage, coexistence with other radios, and hardware design and layout flexibility. Avago Technologies has addressed these concerns with a broad portfolio of RF product solutions including power amplifiers (PAs), low noise amplifiers (LNAs), FBAR filters and duplexers, and integrated GPS/GNSS LNA filter modules for small cell BTS applications.
