HMC457QS16G / 457QS16GE v03.0907 InGaP HBT 1 WATT POWER AMPLIFIER, 1.7 - 2.2 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC457QS16G / HMC457QS16GE is ideal for applications requiring a high dynamic range amplifier: Output IP3: +46 dBm • CDMA & W-CDMA 48% PAE @ +32 dBm Pout • GSM, GPRS & Edge +25 dBm W-CDMA Channel Power @ -50 dBc ACPR Gain: 27 dB @ 1900 MHz • Base Stations & Repeaters LINEAR & POWER AMPLIFIERS - SMT 11 Integrated Power Control (Vpd) QSOP16G SMT Package: 29.4 mm2 Included in the HMC-DK002 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description The HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE are high dynamic range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) 1 watt MMIC power amplifiers operating between 1.7 and 2.2 GHz. Packaged in a miniature 16 lead QSOP plastic package, the amplifier gain is typically 27 dB from 1.7 to 2.0 GHz and 25 dB from 2.0 to 2.2 GHz. Utilizing a minimum number of external components, the amplifier output IP3 can be optimized to +45 dBm. The power control (Vpd) can be used for full power down or RF output power/ current control. The high output IP3 and PAE make the HMC457QS16G & HMC457QS16GE ideal power amplifiers for Cellular/3G base station & repeater applications.
