Product Description

The AP513 is a high dynamic range power amplifier in a

RoHS-compliant flange-mount package.

The multi-stage

amplifier module has 30 dB gain, while being able to achieve

high performance for DCS-band applications with +39 dBm

of compressed 1dB power. The module has been internally

optimized for linearity to provide -64 dBc ACPR at 28 dBm

power for 7-carrier CDMA2000 applications.

The AP513 uses a high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT process

technology and does not require any external matching

components. The module operates off of a +12V supply and

does not requiring any negative biasing voltages; an internal

active bias allows the amplifier to maintain high linearity

over temperature. It has the added feature of a +5V power

down control pin. A low-cost metal housing allows the

device to have a low thermal resistance and achieves over

100 years MTTF. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.

The AP513 is targeted for use as a driver or final stage

amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity and

high power is required. This combination makes the device an

excellent candidate for next generation multi-carrier 3G base

stations or repeaters using the DCS1800 frequency band.
