Product Description
The RF3108 is a high-power, high-efficiency power ampli-
fier module offering high performance in GSM or GPRS
applications. The device is self-contained with 50鈩?input
and output terminals. The device is manufactured on an
advanced GaAs HBT process, and has been designed for
use as the final RF amplifier in GSM/DCS and PCS hand
held-digital cellular equipment and other applications in
the 880MHz to 915MHz and 1710MHz to 1910MHz
bands. On-board power control provides over 70dB of
control range with an analog voltage input, and provides
power down with a logic "low" for standby operation. The
device is packaged in an ultra-small (9mmx10mm) LCC,
minimizing the required board space.
