QPA9127 High Linearity Gain Block Product Overview The QPA9127 is a cascadable, high linearity gain block amplifier in a low-cost surface mount package. At 3.5 GHz, the amplifier provides 20 dB gain, +35 dBm OIP3 and 1.4 dB Noise Figure while drawing 70 mA current from a 5V supply. 8 Pad 2x2mm DFN Package The QPA9127 provides very flat gain across a broad range of frequencies with the integration of a shut-down biasing capability to allow for operation for TDD applications. The Key Features low noise figure and high linearity performance allows the 1.06.0 GHz Operational device to be used in both receiver and transmitter chains for high performance systems. The internal active bias 50 Matched RF Input and Output circuit also enables stable operation over bias and 0.3dB Gain Flatness over 400 MHz Bandwidth temperature variations and can be biased from a single 20dB Gain positive supply ranging from +3.3 to +5 volts. The amplifier +35dBm Output IP3 is internally matched using a high-performance E-pHEMT +19.5 dBm P1dB process and is housed in a small 2x2 mm surface-mount package. Noise Figure 1.4dB 1.8V Logic Compatible Shutdown Control The QPA9127 covers the 1 6 GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure or other applications requiring high linearity and/or low noise figure.
