Description

The ECM168 is a high performance PAS Amplifier Module offering excellent linearity.  The internally matched multi-stage amplifier has 33.5 dB gain while achieving +34 dBm linear output power to meet PHS requirements of better than -65 dBc ACLR 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; an internal active bias allows the ECM168 to maintain high linearity over temperature and operate directly off a single +10V supply.  A low-cost metal housing allows the device to have a low thermal resistance and achieves over 100 years MTTF.  All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
 
The ECM168 is targeted for use as a driver amplifier in wireless infrastructure where high linearity and high power is required.  This combination makes the device an excellent candidate for next generation PAS base stations.
