Philips Semiconductors Product specification
UHF amplifier module BGY241
FEATURES
• 3.5 V nominal supply voltage
• 35 dBm output power
• Easy output power control by DC voltage.
APPLICATIONS
• Digital cellularradio systems with Time Division Multiple
Access (TDMA) operation (GSM systems) in the
880 to 915 MHz frequency range.
DESCRIPTION
The BGY241 is a three-stage UHF amplifier module in a
SOT482C leadless package with a plastic cover.
The module consists of one NPN silicon planar transistor
die and one bipolar monolithic integrated circuit mounted
together with matching and bias circuit components on a
metallized ceramic substrate.
