With the rapid proliferation of smartphones, tablets and other data-hungry devices, operators are working to quickly transition from voice-centric networks to data-centric networks. Keeping up with the surging demand in data services and applications is a continuous challenge. Even newly deployed equipment is showing signs of strain including the wireless/microwave backhaul link due to the increased data rate and bandwidth requirements. The growing mobile backhaul bottleneck can be addressed with microwave point-to-point (P2P) equipment that adapts to these changing demands. As operators increasingly deploy microwave P2P equipment, they will also expect carrier class reliability, low CAPEX cost and low OPEX cost.
Scintera’s SC1887 power amplifier linearizer (RFPAL) is able the stringent requirements of both the equipment manufacturer and the operator. Able to operate across a wide range of intermediate frequencies, modulations, operating conditions and signal characteristics, the SC1887 can effectively linearize microwave amplifiers operating at nearly any output frequency and deliver the full benefits of predistortion including increased efficiency and linearity.
