Product Description
The ECM168 is a high performance PHS Amplifier
Module offering excellent linearity. The internally
matched multi-stage amplifier has 33 dB gain while
achieving +33.5 dBm linear output power to meet PHS
requirements of better than -65 dBc ACPR at a ±600 kHz
offset from the carrier.
The ECM168 uses a high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT
process technology and does not require any external
matching components. The module has an added benefit
by not require any negative biasing voltages; only a +10V
supply is needed for proper operation.
The device is ideal for wireless applications and is
available in a low-cost metal housing. This allows the
device to have a low thermal resistance and achieves over
100 years MTTF. All devices are 100% RF and DC
tested.
