atkins-Johnson’s SA1076 Power
Amplifier provides exceptional
linearity and low vector error for TDMA
digital modulation applications. Utilizing
WJ’s GaAs amplifiers driving bipolar
transistors in the class AB output stage,
the SA1076 achieves a high third-order
intercept point combined with superior
efficiency when compared to an equiva-
lent power class A amplifier. Special non-
linear design techniques are utilized to
minimize unwanted adjacent channel
power. To aid top level system diagnos-
tics and reliability, the unit includes
alarms to identify if an active part fails
or if a poor load is presented to the RF
output. In the event that a fault is detect-
ed or to simply save DC power, a digital-
ly controlled shutdown is provided. An
integral logarithmic power detector mea-
sures the output power of the amplifier
over a 16 dB dynamic range.
