RF2125
HIGH POWER LINEAR AMPLIFIER
• PCS Communication Systems
• Digital Communication Systems
• DECT Cordless Applications
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery Powered Equipment
The RF2125 is a high power, high efficiency linear ampli-
fier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gal-
lium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
process, and has been designed for use as the final RF
amplifier in digital PCS phone transmitters and base sta-
tions requiring linear amplification operating between
1500 MHz and 2200 MHz. It will also function as a high
efficiency amplifier for constant envelope applications
such as DECT. The device is packaged in an 8-lead
ceramic package with a backside ground. The device is
self-contained with the exception of the output matching
network and power supply feed line. It produces a typical
output power level of 1 W.
• Single 2.7V to 7.5V Supply
• 1W Output Power
•14dB Gain
• 45% Efficiency
• Power Down Mode
• 1500MHz to 2200MHz Operation
