Skyworks Solutions announced a significant milestone with the shipment of over 1 million of its SKY66318-21 power amplifier, the industry's first high efficiency small cell PA with a bandwidth of 200 MHz at +28 dBm.

To demonstrate the benefits of this exciting new technology, Skyworks also collaborated with Xilinx, Inc. to showcase the spectral and power efficiency achievable using the SKY66318-21 PA in 5G infrastructure applications during the CES 2021 Show.

Featuring a highly efficient, wide instantaneous bandwidth, fully input/output matched PA with high gain and linearity, the SKY66318-21 enables newly auctioned operation in both the Citizens Broadband Radio Service and the 5G C-band, making it well positioned for "Carrier sharing" where multiple operators can take advantage of the opportunity to share the same equipment.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Skyworks and TI to provide our highly adaptable CFR and DPD IP which offers a scalable digital front-end solution to address future RF PA efficiency needs."

"As 5G is being deployed globally and with the mid-band serving as the sweet spot thanks to its speed, capacity and range, the SKY66318-21 is a robust addition to Skyworks' broad portfolio of complete connectivity solutions," said David Stasey, vice president and general manager of diversified analog solutions for Skyworks.

"Regardless of band, Skyworks is poised to meet the need for densification in the rapidly expanding small cell market."
