RMPA2453
2.4–2.5 GHz InGaP HBT Linear Power Amplifier
General Description
The RMPA2453 power amplifier is designed for high
performance WLAN applications in the 2.4–2.5 GHz
frequency band. The low profile 16 pin 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm
package with internal matching on both input and output to
50
minimizes next level PCB space and allows for
simplified integration. The on-chip detector provides power
sensing capability while the logic control provides power
saving shutdown options. The PA’s low power consumption
and excellent linearity are achieved using our InGaP
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) technology.
Features
26dB small signal gain
26.5dBm output power @ 1dB compression
2.5% EVM at 18dBm modulated output power
3.5% EVM at 19dBm modulated output power
3.3V single positive supply operation
Two power saving shutdown options (bias and logic
control)
Integrated power detector with 20dB dynamic range
Low profile 16 pin 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm leadless package
Internally matched to 50
and DC blocked RF input/
output
Optimized for use in 802.11b/g applications
