RF2137
LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIER
• 4.8V AMPS Cellular Handsets
• 4.8V CDMA/AMPS Handsets
• 4.8V JCDMA/TACS Handsets
• Driver Amplifier in Cellular Base Stations
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2137 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 dual-mode 4-cell CDMA/AMPS hand-held
digital cellular equipment, spread spectrum systems, and
other applications in the 800MHz to 950MHz band. The
device is self-contained with 50
Ω input and the output
can be easily matched to obtain optimum power, effi-
ciency, and linearity characteristics at all recommended
supply voltages.
• Single 4.2V to 6.0V Supply
• Upto29dBm Linear Output Power
• 27dB Gain With Analog Gain Control
• 45% Linear Efficiency
• On-board Power Down Mode
• 800MHz to 950MHz Operation
