(Top News, 24 Apr 2008)

RF Micro Devices (RFMD) has developed a 5GHz SZP-5026Z high linearity amplifier designed specifically for use in WLAN and WiMAX consumer premises equipment (CPE), access point, and base transceiver station (BTS) applications. Rated at 2W, the SZP-5026Z single stage Class AB Indium Gallium Phosphide (InGaP) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier delivers an error vector magnitude (EVM) performance of 2.5 percent at 25.5dBm output power.

The device is rated at 3V to 5V and operates within the 4.9GHz to 5.9GHz frequency range. It features internally pre-matched input and output, integrated input power detector and on/off power control, proprietary, thermally enhanced SOF-26 package, and 1kV Class 1C ESD protection.

The SZP-5026Z is the newest addition to RFMD's SZP family of WLAN and WiMAX amplifiers, which includes the SZP-2026Z (2.2GHz to 2.7GHz) and SZP-3026Z (3GHz to 3.8GHz).
