Gain: 14.8 dB
OP1dB: 33.2 dBm
Drain Efficiency: 58%
OIP3: 43.0 dBm
Eval Board NF: 1.3 dB
Flexible Bias Voltage and Current
Process: GaAs pHEMT
The device can be biased with Vdd over a range from
2.7 to 5.0 volts and Iddq can be adjusted for optimal
linearity and efficiency.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s-
parameters.
