RF Micro Devices ( News - Alert), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance radio frequency systems and solutions, has introduced the SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z power amplifiers as a part of its plan to expand its wireless infrastructure product portfolio.
The SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z are one-watt and two-watt, respectively, Indium Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) power amplifiers that address base station applications across all cellular standards and frequencies.
The SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z Class A InGaP power amplifiers offer backed-off linearity performance, which is particularly critical to WCDMA high power amplifier (HPA) applications. Located in RFMD’s ( News - Alert) proprietary SOF-26 package, the SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z delivers lower thermal resistance (Rth) and lower power dissipation while providing RoHS and WEEE compliance.
The SPA-1426Z and SPA-1526Z comprise on-chip active bias circuitry and bias control pins, as well as an input power detector and rugged class 1C ESD rating.
RF Micro Devices designs high-performance radio frequency systems and solutions. RFMD offers cellular front ends, cellular transceivers, RF components and system- on-chip (SoC) solutions. All those capabilities facilitate worldwide mobility, provide enhanced connectivity and support advanced functionality in the cellular handset, cellular base station, wireless local area network (WLAN ), CATV networking, aerospace, defense, and global positioning systems (GPS) markets.
