Description
The XP1043-QH is a packaged linear power
amplifier that operates over the 12.0-16.0 GHz
frequency band. The device provides 21.5 dB gain
and 41 dBm Output Third Order Intercept Point
(OIP3) across the band and is offered in an industry
standard, fully molded 4x4mm QFN package. The
packaged amplifier is comprised of a three stage
power amplifier with an integrated, temperature
compensated on-chip power detector. The device
includes on-chip ESD protection structures and DC
by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation and
volume assembly of the packaged part. The device
is manufactured in GaAs pHEMT device technology
with BCB wafer coating to enhance ruggedness and
repeatability of performance. This device is specially
designed for use in Point-to-Point Radio systems for
cellular backhaul applications, and is well suited for
other telecom applications such as SATCOM and
VSAT.

(1) Minimum specifications are set under nominal (typ.) bias conditions.
Bias can be adjusted higher to achieve greater linearity and power;
however, maximum total power dissipated is specified at 5.5 W
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device’s MTTF. Channel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
