RF LDMOS Wideband Integrated
Power Amplifiers
The MW4IC2230N wideband integrated circuit is designed for W - CDMA
base station applications. It uses Freescale’s newest High Voltage (26 to 28
Volts) LDMOS IC technology and integrates a multi - stage structure. Its
wideband on- chip design makes it usable from 1600 to 2400 MHz. The linearity
performances cover all modulations for cellular applications: GSM, GSM
EDGE, TDMA, CDMA and W - CDMA.
