ETC UPG2118K-E3

NEC's 1.5W
GaAs MMIC POWER AMPLIFIER
UPG2118K
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• E-MODE HJ-FET TECHNOLOGY
NEC's UPG2118K is a 1.5W, 3 stage power amplifier
developed primarily for DCS/PCS1800 applications.
With modified external matching the UPG2118K can
be tuned from 800 to 2500 MHz.
• SINGLE +3.2V POWER SUPPLY
• HIGH EFFICIENCY: PAE = 42% MIN
• HIGH SATURATED POWER: Pout = +31.5 dBm MIN
• FLEXIBLE FREQUENCY RANGE
Use of E-mode FET technology delivers high efficiency
and high linearity with a single positive low voltage
supply.
• 20-PIN QFN PACKAGE:
(4.15 X 4.15 X 0.9 mm)
APPLICATIONS
• 1800 MHz DCS/PCS
• 915 AND 2450 ISM BAND USAGE
• AUTOMATIC METER READERS
• WIRELESS SECURITY
• SATELLITE UPLINK
