RF2126
HIGH POWER LINEAR AMPLIFIER
• 2.5GHz ISM Band Applications
• Digital Communication Systems
• PCS Communication Systems
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2126 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 2.45 GHz ISM applications such as WLAN
and POS terminals. The part will also function as the final
stage in digital PCS phone transmitters requiring linear
amplification
operating
between
1800MHz
and
2500 MHz. The device is packaged in an 8-lead plastic
package with a backside ground. The device is self-con-
tained with the exception of the output matching network
and power supply feed line. It produces a typical output
power level of 1W.
• Single 3V to 6.5V Supply
• 1.3W Output Power
•12dB Gain
• 45% Efficiency
• Power Down Mode
• 1800MHz to 2500MHz Operation
