makes ithem ideal for large–signal, common source amplifier applications in 28
volt base station equipment.
• Guaranteed Performance at 945 MHz, 28 Volts
Output Power – 45 Watts PEP
Power Gain – 1 1.5 dB
Efficiency – 33%
IMD – 28 dBc
• Characterized with Series Equivalent Large–Signal
Impedance Parameters
• S–Parameter Characterization at High Bias Levels
• Excellent Thermal Stability
• 100% Tested for Load Mismatch Stress at all Phase Angles
with 5:1 VSWR @ 28 Vdc, 945 MHz, 45 Watts CW
