The new phones will be designed to download and transmit data and videos faster than today\u2019s phones, provide better coverage, consume less power and meet the needs of an emerging \u201cInternet of things\u201d in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.<\/p>\n<p>Power amplifiers are needed to transmit signals. Because today\u2019s cell phone amplifiers are made of gallium arsenide, they cannot be integrated into the phone\u2019s silicon-based technology, called complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). The new amplifier design is CMOS-based, meaning it could allow researchers to integrate the power amplifier with the phone\u2019s electronic chip, reducing manufacturing costs and power consumption while boosting performance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/newsroom\/releases\/2016\/Q2\/high-efficiency-power-amplifier-could-bring-5g-cell-phones.html\">http:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/newsroom\/releases\/2016\/Q2\/high-efficie...hones.html<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. \u2013 A new highly efficient power amplifier for electronics could help make possible next-generation cell phones, low-cost collision-avoidance radar for cars and lightweight microsatellites for communications.
