The A5M35TG140-TC from NXP Semiconductors is a Doherty Power Amplifier Module that operates from 3400 to 3600 MHz. It delivers an output power of 10.5 W with a gain of 30.5 dB and a power-added efficiency of 47.5%. This 2-stage power amplifier module has an LDMOS-based driver amplifier and a GaN final stage amplifier. It has an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of -30.2 dBc and an AM/PM conversion of -18° (at P3dB). This amplifier has a thermal path that is separated from the electrical/solder connection path for enhanced thermal dissipation.
The A5M35TG140-TC has reduced memory effects for improved linearized error vector magnitude and is designed for low-complexity digital linearization systems. This amplifier requires a DC supply of 5 V or 48 V and consumes less than 11.3 mA. It is available in a module that measures 14 x 10 mm and is ideal for massive MIMO systems, outdoor small cells, low-power remote radio heads, TDD LTE, and 5G system applications.
