QPA9807 2300 - 2700 MHz 1/4W Balanced Amplifier (R) General Description The QPA9807 is a balanced amplifier module with embedded hybrid couplers to convert to single ended input and output ports. The module has an enable pin to allow for shutting down of the amplifier. The module requires minimal external components which are VCC choke inductors, decoupling caps and resistors for bias control. The QPA9807 provides +24.7 dBm P1dB with 19.6 dB gain and +38.7 dBm OIP3 across a wide frequency range of 2300-2700 MHz to cover the 3GPP Bands 7, 30, 38, 40, and 41. The linear driver amplifier is targeted for use in wireless infrastructure where high linearity, medium power and high integration is required. The balanced amplifier configuration provides very good input and output VSWR and is especially ideal as the output stage in a macrocell transceiver board that connects to the high power amplifier (HPA) board through a long cable or microstrip trace. The QPA9807 is packaged in a small 5x 5mm leadless package that is internally matched to 50 on all RF ports.
