Theory of Operation and Application Information

RF3807 design accommodates use in a variety of applications:

• Linear driver from 450MHz to 2200MHz

• 2nd/3rd stage high linearity LNA, with noise figure in the 3dB to 4dB range from 800MHz to 2200MHz

• High efficiency (>50%) output stage for non-linear applications

• 13dB gain, >37dBm typical OIP3 when matched for WiMax 2.5GHz to 2.7GHz (see “Application Schematic” on page 8)

Nominal data sheet shows specification for VCC=VBIAS=VREF=8V. RF3807 can easily be configured for 5V operation, with a

simple bias resistor change at VREF.. “Bias Table” on page 5 shows resistor values for VCC=VBIAS=VREF=5V. Generally speak-

ing, 5V data will compare to that for 8V as follows:

• 3dB to 3.5dB reduction in OP1dB

• 0.4dB to 0.5dB increase in small signal gain

For operation at other than 5V, bias R can be calculated as follows (VCC=VBIAS=VREF=5V is used here to illustrate, operation at

different voltage is determined with same methodology).

1. Use nominal 8V case as a starting point: VCC=VBIAS=VREF=8V, IREF =14mA, ICQ=112mA. Target condition will be to

achieve same ICQ with VCC=VBIAS=VREF=5V.

2. Using standard evaluation board with separate lab supplies on (VCC/VBIAS) and (VREF), set VCC/VBIAS=5V, VREF=8V. IREF is

maintained at 14mA, and ICQ drops from nominal value of 112mA.

3. VREF can then be increased >8V until ICQ is restored. IREF increase to 24mA is required (as seen in “Bias Table” on page 5).

4. At this point, pin voltage at VREF is calculated (or measured with DVM): VPIN=VREF at eval board input – IREF*bias R=12.1–

0.024 * 340 = 3.94 V.

5. Next, calculate new bias R for VREF=5V: Bias R=(5–3.94)/0.024=44Ω. See “Bias Table” on page 5, standard resistor

value=43Ω is called out. In this way, bias R can be calculated for any VCC=VBIAS=VREF configuration. The maximum IREF

limit for RF3807=30mA.

Junction-to-case thermal resistance (RTH_JC) is shown versus output power in the graph section of this data sheet. The graph

was generated with nominal VCC=VBIAS=VREF=8V, IREF=14mA, where ambient temperature=85°C. Using this curve along

with operating condition, junction temperature can be calculated. Resultant TJ for this case yields MTTF>100 years. Standard

RF3807 evaluation boards are matched for high efficiency at OP1dB. To ensure reliability for operation at high power, output

match achieving equivalent or better efficiency on system board should be the goal.

Typical s-parameter responses for each evaluation board are shown within the data sheet. These boards were matched with

two specifications in mind:

• Output load impedance set for optimum OIP3/ACP (Adjacent Channel Power for commonly used modulation standards).

• Output load impedance set for high efficiency at OP1dB, with ruggedness (survival) into output 4:1 VSWR.

In some cases, low power operation being one, it may be desirable to improve output return loss seen on evaluation board.

This can be done with output match adjust. The result will be an increase in small signal gain. Tradeoffs between return loss,

gain, OIP3, and compression point can then be considered in obtaining optimum performance for a particular application.
