are necessary to meet the extremely demanding needs
of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed
for WiMAX and LTE air interfaces operating in the
2.30 – 2.70 GHz band, ,the AWB7221R delivers up
to +28 dBm of WiMAX power with exceptionally low
EVM. It operates from a convenient +4.0 V supply and
provides more than 30 dB of gain with a P1dB of +35
dBm. The device is manufactured using an advanced
InGaP HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness. The
self-contained 7mm x 7mm x 1mm surface mount
package incorporates advanced matching networks
optimized for output power, efciency, and linearity in
a 50 Ω system.
