RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Qorvo QPA2463C. Spanning 50 to 4000MHz, the QPA2463C is an active bias, cascadable, HBT, MMIC amplifier which utilizes a Darlington configuration for high linearity applications such as those found in LTE infrastructure and defense/aerospace. Offering 15dB of gain, the amplifier runs directly from a 3V supply with no dropping resistor required and draws only 20mA. The patented active bias circuitry provides stable current over temperature and process variations. P1dB is 10.8dBm and OIP3 is 22dBm. Internally matched to 50 ohms, it’s offered in a SOT-363 package.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for NXP’s VHF, UHF handheld radio amplifier. With an operating voltage of 7.5V, the AFM907N provides 8 Watts of power for handheld radios operating from 136 to 941MHz. Unmatched input and output ports allow wideband gain >15dB while narrowband performance is as high a 20.7dB. The single ended AFM907N can handle 65:1 VSWR mismatches making it extremely rugged in applications such as TETRA and SSB radios.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high performance, SiGe, HBT, MMIC amplifier. The Qorvo QPA0163L offers noise figure as low as 1.5dB in low voltage applications such as GPS and RFID receivers operating in frequency ranges from 100 to 1300MHz. The QPA0163L uses a single, positive voltage supply enabling easy implementation. Gain is 14.9 to 17.7dB depending on frequency of operation and voltage. A high OIP3 of 31dBm makes this amplifier useful in LTE infrastructure, repeaters and booster, T&M and even defense/aerospace applications. Offered in a SOT-363 package.
