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 lin-
ear 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.
