Product Description
The RF2131 is a high-power, high-efficiency amplifier IC.
The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Ars-
enide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process,
and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in
AMPS and ETACS handheld equipment, spread spec-
trum systems, CDPD, and other applications in the
800MHz to 950MHz band. On-board power control pro-
vides over 30dB of control range with an analog voltage
input, and provides power down with a logic "low" for
standby operation. Although it is intended for class C
operation, linear class AB operation can be achieved by
raising the bias level. The device is self-contained with
50鈩?input and the output can be easily matched to obtain
optimum power and efficiency characteristics.
