Product Description
The RF3158 is a high power, dual-mode amplifier module with integrated
power control. The input and output terminals are internally matched to
50Ω. The amplifier devices are manufactured on an advanced Gallium
Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (GaAs HBT) process, which is
designed to operate either in saturated mode for GMSK signaling or linear
mode for 8PSK signaling. The module is designed to be the final amplifica-
tion stage in a dual-mode GSM/EDGE mobile transmit lineup operating in
the 824MHz to 915MHz (low) and 1710MHz to 1910MHz (high) bands
(such as a cellular handset). Band selection is controlled by an input on
the module which selects either the low or high band. The device is pack-
aged on a 6mmx6mm laminate module with a protective plastic over-
mold.
