RF3807
GaAs HBT PRE-DRIVER AMPLIFIER
The RF3807 is a GaAs pre-driver power amplifier, specifically designed for wireless
infrastructure applications. Using a highly reliable GaAs HBT fabrication process,
this high-performance single-stage amplifier achieves high output power over a
broad frequency range. The RF3807 also provides excellent efficiency and thermal
stability through the use of a thermally-enhanced surface-mount plastic-slug pack-
age. Ease of integration is accomplished through the incorporation of an optimized
evaluation board design provided to achieve proper 50
Ω operation. Various evalua-
tion boards are available to address a broad range of wireless infrastructure appli-
cations: NMT 450MHz, GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, and UMTS2100.
