HIGH POWER UHF AMPLIFIER
• Analog Communication Systems
• Analog Cellular Systems (AMPS & TACS)
• 900MHz Spread-Spectrum Systems
• 400MHz Industrial Radios
• Driver Stage for Higher Power Applications
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2115L is a high power amplifier IC. The device is
manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Hetero-
junction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been
designed for use as the final RF amplifier in analog cellu-
lar phone transmitters or ISM applications operating at
915MHz. The device is packaged in a 16-lead ceramic
quad leadless chip carrier with a backside ground. The
device is self-contained with the exception of the output
matching network and power supply feed line. A two-bit
digital control provides 4 levels of power control, in 10 dB
steps.
• Single 5V to 6.5V Supply
• Upto1.0WCWOutputPower
• 33dB Small Signal Gain
• 48% Efficiency
• Digitally Controlled Output Power
• Small Package Outline (0.25" x 0.25")
