Sirenza Microdevices is offering its new SZP series of 2 W high-performance linear power amplifiers for WiMAX (802.16 d/e) and Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) applications.

The first two products to be released in the SZP series are the SZP-2026Z and the SZP-3026Z. Produced in InGaP HBT technology, the SZP-3026Z operates over the full 3.0 GHz to 3.8 GHz frequency range with 12 dB of gain and provides more than +26 dBm of linear power at 2.5% EVM. The SZP-2026Z covers the 2.2 GHz to 2.7 GHz frequency range with more than 12.5 dB gain and also provides more than +26 dBm of linear power at 2.5% EVM.

Both products operate from a single +5 Vdc supply and feature an adjustable on-chip active bias circuit providing the designer the flexibility to tailor performance based on the specific application. The SZP series also features power up/power down control to save power during receive modes in addition to an on-chip power detector.

Housed in a low-cost surface-mount SOF-26 package, both products have an ESD rating of class 1C (1KV HBM) and MTTF of 1 million hours in accordance with Sirenza’s 3R program for reliable, rugged and robust performance.
