ACP is measured at +/- 885 kHz offset from the centre of the channel (2000 MHz) using a spectrum analyzer with a
resolution set to 30 kHz
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLV2048 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresp onding to VSWR = 3 : 1 through all phases under the
following conditions : f
= 2000.0 MHz; f2= 2000.1 MHz; VCE= 26 V; ICQ= 2 x 300 mA; PL= 120 W (PEP); Tmb=25°C.
