Avago公司的ALM-42316是全匹配功率放大模块,具有高度线性和低电压特性,工作频率在3.3-3.8GHz. ALM-42316是3级功率放大器,增益30dB,3.3V电源时的效率达14.5%, P1dB为30.5dBm,可广泛应用在IEEE 802.16移动端和固定端的高线性放大器和WLL放大器.本文介绍了ALM-42316的主要性能和技术指标, 内部电路图, 应用电路图及其元件布局和所用材料清单(BOM).
Avago Technologies’ ALM-42316 is a fully-matched Power amplifier module for use in the (3.3-3.8)GHz band. High linear output power at 3.3V is achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. It is housed in a miniature 5.0 x 5.0 x 1.1mm MCOB module. It includes shutdown and
switchable gain functions. A detector is also included onchip. The compact footprint and low profile coupled with high gain and high efficiency make the ALM-42316 an ideal choice as a power amplifier for IEEE 802.16 (Wimax) and WLL applications.
