Product Description
The RF3161 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module with
integrated power control that provides over 50dB of control range. The
device is a self-contained 6mmx6mmx1mm module with 50Ω input and
output terminals. The device is designed for use as the final RF amplifier
in GSM850, EGSM900, DCS and PCS handheld digital cellular equipment
and other applications in the 824MHz to 849MHz, 880MHz to 915MHz,
1710MHz to 1785MHz and 1850MHz to 1910MHz bands. The RF3161
can be used for GSM and Polar Mod EDGE applications. The RF3161
requires no external routing or external components, simplifying layout
and reducing board space.
