Ultra High IP3 Wideband Amplifier ZX60-H242+ 50 700 to 2400 MHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: GC957 Industry Leading High IP3, 46 dBm typ. Output Power at 1 dB Compression, +23 dBm Wideband, 700 - 2400 MHz Product Overview The ZX60-H242+ (RoHS compliant) uses Mini-Circuits high dynamic MMIC technology and optimization circuits to pro- vide industry leading linearity over a focused frequency range. Housed in a rugged, cost effective unibody chassis, this amplifier supports a wide variety of applications requiring moderate power output, low distortion and 50 ohm matched input/output ports. Key Features Feature Advantages The ZX60-H242+ offers industry leading IP3 performance relative to power consumption. The combination of Extremely High IP3 vs. Current the design and E-PHEMT provides enhanced linearity as evidence in the IP3. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in: 47.7 dBm typ at 1500 MHz Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths versus DC Power Consumption Drivers in linearized transmit systems of 145mA Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers Optimized Frequency Range Covering primary wireless communication bands: cellular and LTE A unique feature of the ZX60-H242+ is the combination of low noise figure performance with the high dynamic Low Noise Figure, 3.0 dB typ. range, differentiating this amplifier from the competition. Unconditionally Stable Capable to operate to a wide range of source and load impedances. The unique unibody size and construction enable the ZX60-H242+ to be used in extremely compact connector- Very Small Size, 0.75 x 0.75 ized applications. Notes A.
