MACOM adds 4W packaged linear power amplifiers for 7 and 8GHz point-to-point radio cellular backhaul

MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes semiconductors, components and subassemblies for analog RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and photonic applications) has launched two packaged linear power amplifiers designed specifically for use in point-to-point radios in cellular backhaul applications. The MAAP-011161 and MAAP-011193 operate over 7.1-7.9GHz and 7.7-8.5GHz respectively, and are intended for 7GHz and 8GHz radio applications.

Both devices have an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 46.5dBm and greater than 35.5dBm saturated output power. Small-signal gain is 22dB for the MAAP-011161 and 20dB for the MAAP-011193.

These power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) come in an air-cavity 7mm surface-mount package with a copper coin paddle for thermal performance. The devices include on-chip ESD protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation and volume assembly of the packaged part, and are RoHS compliant.

Production quantities and samples of the MAAP-011161 and MAAP-011193 are available from stock.
