MicroWave Technology (MwT) has released a family of eight high linearity power amplifiers (PAs) for WiFi (802.11) and WiMax (802.16d/e) standards for all three frequency bands, 2.4 GHz to 2.7 GHz, 3.3 GHz to 3.7 GHz, and 4.9 GHz to 5.9 GHz. The power amplifiers of the “WPS” series have P-1dB up to 36 dBm with IP3 as high as 50 dBm and EVM (Error Victor Magnitude) less than 2% at 29 dBm output power level under 64QAM modulation schedule with 256 WiMax carriers. The typical gain across the bands is 14 dB. The power amplifiers have over 100 yrs. of Mean-Time-Toward-Failure (MTTF) at 150 °C junction temperature and are available in both Pd-free surface mount leadless 02 packages and flange packages.

MwT also offers MPS series products as high linearity drivers suitable for driving the WPS power amplifier series for the same WiFi and WiMax frequency bands. Those drivers have P-1dB of 29 dBm with IP3 of 45 dBm and EVM (Error Victor Magnitude) less than 2.5% at 22 dBm output power level under WiMax modulation scheme. The typical gain across the bands is 13 dB. In additional, MwT recently released seven FET products in the SOT89 and QFN packages, MwT-1789HL, MwT-1789NL, MwT-1789SB, MwT-17Q3, MwT-22Q4, MwT-A989, and MwT-A989SB for generic linear power and low noise applications. Those packaged FET’s deliver superior high dynamic range performance from 0.9 GHz to 4.0 GHz. The MwT-1789SB and MwT-A989SB are internally self-biased.
