RF3108
TRIPLE-BAND GSM/DCS/PCS
POWER AMP MODULE
• 3V Dual-Band/Triple-Band GSM Handsets
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
•GPRS Compatible
The RF3108 is a high-power, high-efficiency power ampli-
fier module offering high performance in GSM or GPRS
applications. The device is self-contained with 50
Ω input
and output terminals. The device is manufactured on an
advanced GaAs HBT process, and has been designed for
use as the final RF amplifier in GSM/DCS and PCS hand
held-digital cellular equipment and other applications in
the 880MHz to 915MHz and 1710MHz to 1910MHz
bands. On-board power control provides over 70 dB of
control range with an analog voltage input, and provides
power down with a logic "low" for standby operation. The
device is packaged in an ultra-small (9mmx10mm) LCC,
minimizing the required board space.
• Single 2.9V to 4.7V Supply Voltage
• +35.5dBm GSM Output Pwr at 3.5V
• +33.0dBm DCS/PCS Output Pwr at 3.5V
• 55% GSM and 50% DCS/PCS Efficiency
• Supports GSM, E-GSM and DCS/PCS
•9mmx10mm Package Size
