comprised of a three stage power amplifier with an
integrated, temperature compensated on-chip power
detector. The device includes on-chip ESD
protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to
ease the implementation and volume assembly of
the packaged part.
The device is specifically designed for use in
13 GHz point-to-point radios for cellular backhaul
applications.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
Class 1A devices.
