SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The RF Line
MHW910
UHF Silicon FET Power Amplifier
Designed specifically for the European Digital Extended Group Special
Mobile (GSM) Base Station applications in the 925–960 MHz frequency range.
MHW910 operates from a 24 volt supply and requires 17 dBm of RF input
power. It includes a micropower voltage regulator in the biasing circuit. This
allows MHW910 to operate from any bias voltage between 8 and 28 volts.
