TQP9309
®
High Efficiency 0.5W Small Cell Power Amplifier
General Description
The TQP9309 is a high-efficiency two-stage power
amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip
bias control and temperature compensation circuitry,
suitable for small cell base station applications.
TQP9309 provides 32 dB gain and >+28 dBm linear power
with pre-distortion correction over the 0.7-1.0 GHz
frequency range for Bands 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 26,
27, 28, and 29. With pre-distortion, the amplifier is able to
achieve -50dBc ACLR at 28 dBm output power using a 20
MHz LTE signal.
The TQP9309 integrates two high performance amplifier
stages onto a module to allow for a compact system design
and requires very few external components for operation.
The amplifier is bias adjustable allowing the amplifier’s
power consumption to be optimized. The TQP9309 is
available in a lead-free/RoHS-compliant 3.5x4.5mm
surface mount package and is pin-compatible to the 1.8-2.2
GHz TQP9321 and 2.5-2.7 GHz TQP9326.
