RF PA linearizer provides increased integration and functionality

Stocked by Mouser, the Maxim SC2200 Dual RF power amplifier linearizer is a RF PA linearizer (RFPAL) that provides increased integration and functionality over the previous generations. The device is a dual-path linearizer that is a fully-adaptive, RFIN/RFOUT predistortion linearisation solution optimised for a wide range of amplifiers, power levels, and communication protocols. It supports 2G to 4G standards (FDD and TDD) from 698MHz to 2700MHz as well as an expanded range of signal bandwidths from 60MHz down to 1.2MHz. The device accepts single-ended RF signals to eliminate baluns and features a mirrored pinout facilitating design of both paths. The dual linearizer can be used for small-cell MIMO, active antennas, distributed antennas, or in systems requiring two different simplex bands.
