The PA is biased with a single 3.3V supply and consumes ultra low current in the off mode. The ANADIGICS AWL9555 high performance InGaP HBT Power Amplifier is designed for transmit applications in the 4.90 to 5.85 GHz Band. The module is internally matched to 50 ohms on input and output ports requiring no external RF matching components. The low profile 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.55 mm package minimizes PCB area making it ideal for MIMO applications. The PA provides industry leading linearity across the full frequency band under 802.11a/n modulation standards. The AWL9555 is manufactured using advanced InGaP HBT technology that offers state-of-the-art performance, reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness.
