RFPA2189

GaAs HBT POWER AMPLIFIER

0.5W, 400MHz to 2700MHz

The RFPA2189 is a single-stage GaAs HBT power amplifier specifically designed for

Wireless Infrastructure applications. It offers ultra-linear operation at a comparably

low DC power making it ideal for next generation radios requiring high efficiency. Its

external matching allows for use across various radio platforms within 400MHz to

2700MHz. The RFPA2189 offers low noise figure making it an excellent solution for

2nd and 3rd stage LNAs.
