MHW105MOTOROLA RF DEVICE DATA
The RF Line
The MHW105 is designed specifically for portable radio applications. The
MHW105 is capable of 5.0 watts power output, operates from a 7.5 volt supply
and requires only 1.0 mW of RF input power.
• Specified 7.5 Volt Characteristics:
RF Input Power — 1.0 mW (0 dBm)
RF Output Power — 5.0 W
Minimum Gain — 37 dB
Harmonics — –40 dBc Max @ 2 f
0
• 50 Ohm Input/Output Impedances
• Guaranteed Stability and Ruggedness
• Epoxy Glass PCB Construction Gives Consistent Performance and Reliability
