General Description

The XP1044 is a highly linear 2-stage power amplifier

capable of 18.5 dB of gain, 34 dBm of power at 1 dB

compression and is housed in an RoHS compliant 7x7mm

package.The XP1044 provides less than 2.5% EVM at 26

dBm output power with 802.16 OFDM signal and peak to

average ratio 9.17 dB.The input and output of the device

are internally pre-matched facilitating a simplified input

and output match. This product operates off an 8V

voltage supply and requires negative voltage which is

used for current control.The XP1044-QL is specifically

designed for WiMAX applications between 4.9 GHz and 5.9

GHz, and the performance can be shifted by adding

external matching components to cover applications

between 3.5 GHz and 5.0 GHz.

Unless otherwise specified, the following specifications are guaranteed at room temperature in a Mimix test fixture.

*Thermal resistance of stage 2 only

(1) Calculate maximum operating backside temperature using:Tmax =

167 °C – [Vd*Idd2*Rth].Thermal resistance of the 1st stage is 2x Rth of

the output stage, and therefore Idd1 must not exceed ½ Idd2 for a

specific maximum temperature
