The MRFIC2403 is a twostage class B GaAs power amplifier in a lowcost 16 lead plastic package designed for use in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz Industrial ScientificMedical (ISM) band. The design is optimized for efficiency at 5.0 Volt operation at 2.5 GHz but is usable from 2.0 to 3.0 GHz in applications such as telemetry and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) wireless cable TV systems. Performance is suitable for frequency hopping or direct sequence spread spectrum as well as singlefrequency applications. Power control circuitry allows 20 dB dynamic range for setting the output power. High Output Power = +23.5 dBm Typical High Gain = 23 dB Typical
