Product Description

The RF2126 is a high-power, high-efficiency, linear amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in 2.45 GHz ISM applications such as WLAN and POS terminals. The part will also function as the final stage in transmitters requiring linear amplification operating between 400MHz and 2700MHz. The device is packaged in an 8-lead plastic package with a backside ground. The device is self-contained with the exception of the output matching network and power supply feed line. It produces a typical output power level of 1W.
