Its high power efficiency and low adjacent channel power levels meet the extremely demanding needs of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed for LTE, WCDMA, HSDPA air interfaces operating in the 925 MHz to 960 MHz band, the AWB7129 delivers up to +24.5 dBm of LTE (E-TM1.1) power with an Vcc1 RF Input ACPR of -47 dBc. It operates from a convenient +4.2 V supply and provides 30 dB of gain. The device is manufactured using an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The self-contained 7 mm x 7 mm x 1.3 mm surface mount package incorporates RF matching networks optimized for output power, efficiency, and linearity in a 50 Ω system.
