Function

Pin Number

Description

RF IN

1

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for

the frequency of operation.

RF-OUT and DC-IN

3

RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking

capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias

without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Ap-

plication Circuit”, Fig. 2

GND

2,4

Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design”

to reduce ground path inductance for best performance.

General Description

PHA-101+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using E-PHEMT technology

and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure. In

addition, the PHA-101+ has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the

need for external matching components. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot

to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal performance.

• Base station infrastructure

• CATV

• LTE

Notes:

a. Suitability for model replacement within a particular system must be determined by and is solely the responsibility of the customer based on, among other things, electrical performance

criteria, stimulus conditions, application, compatibility with other components and environmental conditions and stresses.

b. The WJ AH101 part number is used for identification and comparison purposes only.
