Its high power efficiency and low adjacent channel power levels meet the extremely demanding needs of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed for WCDMA, HSDPA and LTE air interfaces operating in the 2.545 GHz to 2.69 GHz band, the AWB7128 delivers up to +24.5 dBm of LTE (E-TM1.1) power with an ACPR of -47 dBc. It operates from a convenient +4.2 V supply and provides 28 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.
