Product Description
The AH322 is a high dynamic range driver amplifier in a
low-cost surface mount package. The InGaP/GaAs HBT is
able to achieve high performance for various narrowband-
tuned application circuits with up to +50 OIP3 and +33
dBm of compressed 1dB power. It is housed in a lead-
free/RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package. All devices are 100%
RF and DC tested.
The AH322 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in
wireless infrastructure where high linearity and medium
power is required. The AH322 is ideal for the final stage of
small repeaters or as driver stages for high power
amplifiers. In addition, the amplifier can be used for a wide
variety of other applications within the 400 to 2700 MHz
frequency band.

1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25ºC, +5V Vsupply, 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit.
2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +21 dBm / tone separated by 1 MHz, 940
MHz. OIP3 measured with two tones at an output power of +24 dBm / tone separated by 1 MHz,
1960 MHz and 2140 MHz respectively. The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to
calculate the OIP3 using a 2:1 rule.

Notes:
The gain for the unmatched device in 50 ohm system is shown as the trace in pink color, [DB (S (2, 1)]. For a tuned circuit for a
particular frequency, it is expected that actual gain will be higher, up to the maximum stable gain. The maximum stable gain is shown in
the blue line [DB (GMAX)].
The impedance plots are shown from 0.01 – 4 GHz, with markers placed in 0.5 GHz increments.
