High OIP3
Medium Power Amplifier Module
Features
· S21 = 31.4 dB @ 925 MHz
Description
The plerowTM APM-Series is an internally matched
amplifier mini-module for such application band in
SMD package with the output P1dB of 29 dBm. It is
compactly designed for low current consumption and
high OIP3. Integrating all the components for biasing
and matching within the module enhances production
yield and throughput as well. It passes through the
stringent DC, RF, and reliability tests. Not sample test
but 100% quality control test is made before packing.
= 30.6 dB @ 960 MHz
· NF of 6.6 dB over Frequency
· Unconditionally Stable
· Single 5V Supply
· High OIP3 @ Low Current

Operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C.
1) OIP3 is measured with two tones at an output power of 12 dBm / tone separated by 1 MHz.
2) S11/S22 (max) is the worst value within the frequency band.
3) Switching time means the time that takes for output power to get stabilized to its final level after switching DC voltage from 0 V to VS.

Note: 1. The number and size of ground via holes in
a circuit board is critical for thermal RF
grounding considerations.
2. We recommend that the ground via holes be
placed on the bottom of all ground pins for
better RF and thermal performance, as
shown in the drawing at the left side.
