Description
RMPA2053-103
3V WCDMA Power Amplifier Module with
Analog Bias Control
ADVANCED INFORMATION
The RMPA2053-103 is a power amplifier module (PAM) for 3GPP Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) applications. The
PAM has been specifically designed for low current draw at low power levels while maintaining high power
efficiency.The PAM is internally matched to 50 ohms to minimize the use of external components. High power-
added efficiency and excellent linearity are achieved using Raytheon’s InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
(HBT) process.
Features
Low backed-off power current consumption: 80 mA Itotal at 12 dBm
power output
Single polarity supply operation and power-down mode
30% power-added efficiency at +27.5 dBm typical WCDMA output power
Compact LCC package: 6.0 x 8.0 x 1.5 mm3
