RFPA2545 RFPA2545 RFPA2545 Broadband 4W GaAs HBT Power Amplifier 1400MHz to 2700MHz The RFPA2545 is a broadband GaAs HBT power amplifier specifically designed for wireless infrastructure applications. Using a highly reliable GaAs HBT technology, this high performance single stage amplifier achieves higher gain and ultra-high linearity over a broad frequency range. It exhibits excellent back-off characteristics making it ideal for ultra-linear applications. RFPA2545 can also be optimized for use as a small-cell PA output stage. External matching and bias control allows RFPA2545 to be utilized across various radio platforms within 1400MHz to 2700MHz.
