7.3 VBW in class-AB operation
The BLF8G20LS-400PV and BLF8G20LS-400PGV have a video bandwidth of 120 MHz
(typical) when measured in a class-AB test circuit operating in the 1800 MHz to 1880 MHz
frequency band for V
DS
= 28 V and I
Dq
= 3.3 A, where the VBW is defined as the location
of the resonance in the base-band impedance measurement obtained using a
low-frequency probe.
The VBW measurement based on the 2-tone IMD test as a function of carrier spacing is
shown below.
