PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AWB7125 is a highly linear, fully matched, power
amplier module designed for picocell, femtocell, and
customer premises equipment (CPE) applications.
Its high power efciency and low adjacent channel
power levels meet the extremely demanding needs
of small cell infrastructure architectures. Designed for
LTE, WCDMA, HSDPA air interfaces operating in the
860 MHz to 894 MHz band, the AWB7125 delivers
up to +24.5 dBm of LTE (E-TM1.1) power with an
FEATURES
• InGaP HBT Technology
• -47 dBc ACPR @ + 10 MHz, +24.5 dBm
• 30 dB Gain
• High Efciency
• Low Transistor Junction Temperature
• Internally matched for a 50 Ω System
• Low Prole Miniature Surface Mount Package;
Halogen Free and RoHS Compliant
• Multi-Carrier Capability
APPLICATIONS
• LTE, WCDMA and HSDPA Air Interfaces
• Picocell, Femtocell, Home Nodes
• Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)
• Data Cards and Terminals
ACPR of -47 dBc. It operates from a convenient
+4.2 V supply and provides 30 dB of gain. The
device is manufactured using an advanced InGaP
HBT MMIC technology offering state-of-the-art
reliability, temperature stability, and ruggedness.
The self-contained 7 mm x 7 mm x 1.3 mm surface
mount package incorporates RF matching networks
optimized for output power, efciency, and linearity in
a 50 Ω system.
