3.5-6.0 GHz 3W Power Amplifier Module P1044-QL March 2010 - Rev 30-Mar-10 Features 34 dBm P1dB Pout 26 dBm @ EVM = 2.5% (PAR=9.17 dB) 46 dBm OIP3 18.5 dB Gain 8V Voltage Supply Input Internally Matched 7x7mm Surface Mount Package Ideal for WiMAX Applications @ 5.8 GHz and Applications between 4 GHz and 5 GHz General Description The XP1044 is a highly linear 2-stage power amplifier capable of 18.5 dB of gain, 34 dBm of power at 1 dB compression and is housed in an RoHS compliant 7x7mm package. The XP1044 provides less than 2.5% EVM at 26 dBm output power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to average ratio 9.17 dB. The input and output of the device are internally pre-matched facilitating a simplified input and output match. This product operates off an 8V voltage supply and requires negative voltage which is used for current control. The XP1044-QL is specifically designed for WiMAX applications between 4.9 GHz and 5.9 GHz, and the performance can be shifted by adding external matching components to cover applications between 3.5 GHz and 5.0 GHz.

Negative voltage supply (VG) needs to be turned on first and then positive voltage can be applied to the drain (VD). When turning off the device, the positive supply (VD) should be turned off first and then negative voltage (VG) can be removed. The gate voltage is adjusted in order to set the drain current to the desired level. The gate voltage required to achieve a certain current can vary over temperature and from one device to another due to pinch-off voltage variation. Constant drain current can be achieved by implementing an active bias circuit which allows for temperature compensation and eliminates the effect of pinch off voltage variation. The input stage transistor periphery is half of the output stage transistor periphery and therefore the gate voltages needed to set the first stage current to 300mA and the second stage current to 600mA are the same. The gate voltages can be connected together and a single active bias circuit can be implemented adding a total of 6 components at a cost of approximately $0.15.
