1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BLM7G1822S-40AB(G) is a dual section, asymmetric, 2-stage power MMIC using
Ampleon’s state of the art GEN7 LDMOS technology. This multiband device is perfectly
suited as small cell final in Doherty configuration, or as general purpose driver in the 1805
MHz to 2170 MHz frequency range. Available in gull wing or straight lead outline.
