Description

The XP1044 is a highly linear 2-stage power

amplifier capable of 18.5 dB of gain, 34 dBm of

power at 1 dB compression and is housed in an

RoHS compliant 7x7mm package. The XP1044

provides less than 2.5% EVM at 26 dBm output

power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to

average ratio 9.17 dB. The input and output of the

device are internally pre-matched facilitating a

simplified input and output match.

This product

operates off an 8V voltage supply and requires

negative voltage which is used for current control.

The XP1044-QL is specifically designed for WiMAX

applications between 4.9 GHz and 5.9 GHz, and the

performance can be shifted by adding external

matching components to cover applications between

4.0 GHz and 5.0 GHz.

Calculate maximum operating backside temperature using: Tmax =

167 °C – [Vd*Idd2*Rth]. Thermal resistance of the 1st stage is 2x Rth

of the output stage, and therefore Idd1 must not exceed ½ Idd2 for a

specific maximum temperature
