RFPA2026

RFPA2026

3-Stage Power Amplifier Module, 2W

700MHz to 2700MHz

The RFPA2026 is a 3-stage HBT power amplifier module with

high gain and excellent efficiency. External matching and bias

control allows the RFPA2026 to be optimized for various

applications including small-cell power amplifiers and ultra-linear

driver amplifiers within 700MHz to 2700MHz. Users can also

bypass the first stage to reduce gain and power consumption.
