Description

M/A-COM’s MAAPSS0103 RF power amplifier is a

three stage GaAs MMIC which exhibits high gain

and linearity performance in a lead-free 4 mm 16-

lead PQFN surface mount plastic package. This

product is designed for the 2.5 GHz IEEE 802.16 /

WiMax band. The MAAPSS0103 also features an

integrated power detector.

The MAAPSS0103 is fabricated using a high

reliability GaAs HBT process to realize low current

and high power functionality. The process features

full passivation for increased performance and

reliability.
