Features
The RMPA1902-58 is a monolithic high efficiency power amplifier for PCS CDMA personal communication system
applications. The MMIC requires off-chip matching. The amplifier circuit design is a single ended configuration that
utilizes harmonic tuning for increased power added efficiency and linearity. The device uses Raytheon’s
Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT) process.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
CAUTION: THIS IS AN ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE.
The following describes a procedure for evaluating the RMPA1902-58, a monolithic high efficiency power amplifier,
in a surface mount package, designed for use in Personal Communication Systems (PCS) utilizing Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). Figure 1 shows the package outline and the pin designations. Figure 2 shows the
functional block diagram of the packaged product. It should be noted that RMPA1902-58 requires external passive
components for DC bias and RF output matching circuits. A recommended schematic circuit is shown in Figure 3.
The gate biases for the three stages of the amplifier may be set by simple resistive voltage dividers. Figure 4 shows
a typical layout of an evaluation board, corresponding to the schematic circuits of Figure 3. The following
designations should be noted:
(4) Vd1 and Vd2 are the Drain Voltages (positive)
applied at the pins of the package
(5) Vdd1 and Vdd2 are the positive supply voltages at
the evaluation board terminals
Note: The 2 terminals of Vdd1 and Vdd2 may be
tied together.
The base of the package must be soldered on to a heat
sink for proper operation.
