AWB7124 728 MHz to 768 MHz Small-Cell Power Amplifier Module PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET - Rev 1.0 FEATURES • InGaP HBT Technology • -47 dBc ACPR @ + 10 MHz, +24.5 dBm • 30 dB Gain • High Efficiency • Low Transistor Junction Temperature • Internally matched for a 50 Ω System • Low Profile Miniature Surface Mount Package; Halogen Free and RoHS Compliant • Multi-Carrier Capability APPLICATIONS • LTE, WCDMA and HSDPA Air Interfaces 14 Pin 7 mm x 7 mm x 1.3 mm Surface Mount Module • Picocell, Femtocell, Home Nodes • Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) • Data Cards and Terminals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AWB7124 is a highly linear, fully matched, power amplifier module designed for picocell, femtocell, and customer premises equipment (CPE) applications.Its high power efficiency and low adjacent channel power levels meet the extremely demanding needs of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed for LTE, WCDMA and HSDPA air interfaces operating in the 728 MHz to 768 MHz band, the AWB7124 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.
