RF LDMOS Wideband Integrated
Power Amplifier
The MHV5IC2215NR2 wideband integrated circuit is designed for base
station applications. It uses Freescale’s High Voltage (28 Volts) LDMOS IC
technology and integrates a two - stage structure. Its wideband on - chip
matching design makes it usable from 1500 to 2200 MHz. The linearity
performances cover all modulation formats for cellular applications including
TD - SCDMA.
