AP561
0.7-2.9 GHz WiMAX 8W Power Amplifier
Product Features
Product Description
Functional Diagram
The AP561 is a high dynamic range broadband power
amplifier in a surface mount package. The single-stage
amplifier has 13 dB Gain, while being able to achieve high
performance for 0.7–2.9 GHz applications with up to +39
dBm of compressed 1dB power.
• 0.7 – 2.9 GHz
• +39 dBm P1dB
• 13 Gain
• 1.5% EVM @ 30 dBm Pout
• +12 V Supply Voltage
The AP561 uses a high reliability +12V InGaP/GaAs HBT
process technology. The device incorporates proprietary
bias circuitry to compensate for variations in linearity and
current draw over temperature. The device does not require
any negative bias voltage; an internal active bias allows the
AP561 to operate directly off a commonly used +12V
supply and has the added feature of a +5V power down
control pin. RoHS-compliant 5x6mm DFN package is
surface mountable to allow for low manufacturing costs to
the end user.

The AP561 is targeted for use in a balanced or single ended
configuration for WiMAX or WiBro applications where
high linearity and high power is required.
