MHW927A MHW927BMOTOROLA RF DEVICE DATA
The RF Line
Designed specifically for the United States digital 3.0 W, mobile radio. The
MHW927A/B are capable of wide power range control, operate from a 12.5 V
supply and require 1.0 mW of RF input power.
• MHW927A Operates from a 9.5 Volt Bias Supply (VB)
MHW927B Operates from a 8.0 Volt Bias Supply (VB)
• Specified 12.5 Volt Characteristics for MHW927A/B:
RF Input Power — 1.0 mW (0 dBm) Max
RF Output Power — 6.0 W
Power Gain — 40 dB Typ
Harmonics — –30 dBc Max @ 2 f
0
• Linearity (IMD) — –29 dBc Max for 3rd Order; –34 dBc Max for 5th Order
• New Biasing and Control Techniques Providing Dynamic Range and Control Circuit
Bandwidth Ideal for USDC
• 50 Ω Input/Output Impedances
• Guaranteed Stability and Ruggedness
