Greensboro, NC — RF Micro Devices has released the SZP-5026Z, a 5 GHz high linearity amplifier designed specifically for use in WLAN and WiMAX consumer premises equipment (CPE), access point, and base transceiver station (BTS) applications.
The SZP-5026Z is a 2 W single stage Class AB Indium Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier optimized for use as either a final or driver stage in WiMAX equipment. It delivers world-class error vector magnitude (EVM) performance of 2.5 percent at 25.5 dBm output power.
Technical features include 3 to 5 V supply operation, operating frequency range of 4.9 to 5.9 GHz, internally pre-matched input and output, integrated input power detector and on/off power control, 1000 V Class 1C ESD protection, and a proprietary, thermally enhanced SOF-26 package.
The SZP-5026Z is the newest addition to the company's SZP family of WLAN and WiMAX amplifiers, which includes the SZP-2026Z (2.2 to 2.7 GHz) and SZP-3026Z (3.0 to 3.8 GHz). With this addition, RFMD's SZP family of amplifiers covers all WLAN and WiMAX frequencies from 2.2 to 5.9 GHz.
