It is well suited for various current and next generation wireless technologies such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition, the AH102A will work for other applications within the 250 to 3000 MHz frequency range such as fixed wireless. Specifications (1) Parameter 4 Superior thermal design allows the product to achieve +46 dBm IP3 performance at a mounting temperature of +85°C with an associated MTTF of greater than 1000 years. The AH102A is available in both the standard SOT-89 package and the environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/RoHScompliant and green SOT-89 package.
