The RF2108 is a high power, high efficiency linear ampli-
fier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gal-
lium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
process, and has been designed for use as the final RF
amplifier in dual-mode 4-cell CDMA/AMPS hand-held
digital cellular equipment, spread spectrum systems, and
other applications in the 800MHz to 950MHz band. The
device is self-contained with 50鈩?input and the output
can be easily matched to obtain optimum power, effi-
ciency, and linearity characteristics.
