• Base Stations
The RF2318 is a broadband general purpose, low cost
high linearity RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured
on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use
as an easily cascadable 75
Ω gain block. The gain flat-
ness of better than 1.0dB from 5MHz to 1000MHz, and
the high linearity, make this part ideal for cable TV appli-
cations. Other applications include IF and RF amplifica-
tion in wireless voice and data communication products
operating in frequency bands up to 5000 MHz. The device
is self-contained with 75
Ω input and output impedances,
and requires only two external DC biasing elements to
operate as specified.
• DC to over 5000MHz Operation
• Internally Matched Input and Output
• 8dB Small Signal Gain
• 6dB Noise Figure
• +18dBm Output Power
• Single 9V to 12V Positive Power Supply
