Its high linearity and efficiency meet the extremely demanding needs of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed for LTE,WCDMA and HSDPA air interfaces operating in the 2.496 GHz to 2.690 GHz band, the AWB7228 delivers up to +27 dBm of LTE (E-TM1.1) power with an ACPR of -47 dBc. It operates from a convenient +4.5 V supply and provides 27 dB of gain. The device is manufactured using an advanced InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-theart 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.

Applications that have large supply voltage transients may benefit from the use of TVS diodes. For such applications, recommended TVS diodes are SM05T1G or SMJ5.0A. 3. To achieve the RF Switching Time specifications listed in Table 4, the maximum recommended capacitance on the VREF line is 0.01μF. The noise on the VREF line should be kept as low as possible to minimize required capacitance.
