APPLICATIONS
RF PA linearization/RF predistortion Amplitude and phase modulation Variable attenuators and phase shifters CDMA2000, WCDMA, GSM/EDGE linear power amplifiers Smart antennas GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Since the RF signal path is linear, the original modulation is preserved. For maximum gain, the AD8341 delivers an OP1dB of 8.5 dBm, an OIP3 of 17.5 dBm, and an output noise floor of −150.5 dBm/Hz, independent of phase. It operates over a frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 2.4 GHz.
