M/A-COM Announces New Discrete Transistors for Wimax Basestations and CPE Applications



Unmatched Performance of 12 Volt GaAs PHEMTs Ideally Suited for Applications with Power Requirements of 5 or 10 Watts

LOWELL, Mass., April 25, 2006 - M/A-COM, a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a leading provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave components, today announced two new GaAs transistors ideally suited for WiMAX basestations and customer premise equipment (CPE) applications up to 3.8 GHz. M/A-COM's MAAP-003438-005PP0 and MAAP-003438-010PP0 are 12 volt GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (PHEMT) that provide RF power levels of 5 and 10 watts, respectively.

MAAP-003438-005PP0, a 12 volt GaAs PHEMT, is designed for WiMAX basestation and CPE applications up to 3.8 GHz. This transistor is also suited for multi-channel multipoint distribution system (MMDS), wireless local loop (WLL) or wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) driver applications from 2.1 GHz, providing 5W (P1db), ACPR -40dBc at +27dBm Pout (W-CDMA). It has a typical of 10 dB gain with lead free 3mm PQFN 16 lead surface mount packaging.

MAAP-003438-010PP0 is a 12 volt GaAs PHEMT designed for WiMAX basestation and CPE applications up to 3.8 GHz and is also suited for MMDS, WLL or WCDMA driver applications from 2.1 GHz. In contrast to the MAAP-003438-005PP0, this amplifier provides 10W (P1db) and -40dBc at +30dBm Pout (W-CDMA). It has a typical gain of 9.5 dB in a lead free 4mm PQFN 16 lead surface mount package.
