Product Description
The RF3108 is a high-power, high-efficiency power amplifier module offering high performance in GSM or GPRS applications. The device is self-contained with 50 input and output terminals. The device is manufactured on an advanced GaAs HBT process, and has been designed for use as the final RF amplifier in GSM/DCS and PCS hand held-digital cellular equipment and other applications in the 880MHz to 915MHz and 1710MHz to 1910MHz bands. On-board power control provides over 70dB of control range with an analog voltage input, and provides power down with a logic "low" for standby operation. The device is packaged in an ultra-small (9mmx10mm) LCC, minimizing the required board space.

RF3108
Theory of Operation and Application Information
The RF3108 is a triple-band, GSM/DCS/PCS power amplifier with two separate RF inputs and outputs that are internally matched to 50. Pins 2 and 14 of the device provide the RF input and output for the DCS/ PCS band, which is optimized for performance between 1710MHz and 1910MHz. Pins 5 and 8 of the device provide the RF input and output for the GSM band, which is optimized for performance between 880MHz and 915MHz. Both bands include an internal DC-blocking capacitor to protect the device from external DC source inputs and block internal DC from exiting the inputs and outputs of the module. The performance is similar to the performance of the RF2173 and RF2174 MIMIC devices used in dual- or triple-band applications. However, the RF3108 module includes the matching and bypass capacitors required for operation internal to the 9mmx10mm module. However, some external components are required to improve stability, isolation and noise power performance. These components are included on the evaluation board and schematic, and will be described in the following paragraphs. The GSM 900MHz band provides 32dB and the DCS/ PCS 1710MHz to 1910MHz band provides 28dB of small signal gain at full output power. Therefore, the drive level required to fully saturate the output is +4dBm for each band. Based upon HBT (Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) technology, the part requires only a single positive 3V supply to operate to full specification. The DCS/PCS band input is located at pin 2 of the device and requires no external components. The GSM 900MHz band input is located at pin 6 of the device and also does not require external components. However, a 180 resistor is included at the input of the GSM band to improve the input impedance and isolation performance at low VAPC levels. The output for both high and low bands are internally matched to 50 at the output of pin 14 and 8. A 50 microstrip should be used to interface to the input and output connections. Power control for the GSM 900MHz band is provided through pin 5 of the device, and pin 3 for the DCS/PCS band. The VAPC inputs do not contain any internal bypass capacitors and will require some external filtering. Because the VAPC filtering capacitor is external to the device, the user has the option of choosing a capacitor value that meets the control loop BW and filtering requirement for various applications. In most typical applications with a closed loop power control, the recommended bypass capacitor for this input is approximately 33pF for the GSM band, and 12pF for the DCS/PCS band. However in open loop operation, a 10nF VAPC bypass capacitor is recommended for both bands to filter noise from the external VAPC source. A 10nF capacitor is installed on pins 3 and 5 on the current evaluation board (see the evaluation board schematic). Noise on the VAPC input will degrade the noise power performance of the device, so care should be used to provide a clean VAPC input signal. This is especially important when measuring noise power or stability performance. The voltage supply VCC contains internal bypass capacitors and inductors to filter unwanted noise on the DC supply voltage. However, the main VCC input to the device at pin 11 requires some additional bypass capacitors as shown in the evaluation board schematic. C5 (1uF) and C4 (3.3uF) are required to improve the stability performance. All the internal ground connections are connected to a series of ground pads located on the backside of the package as shown in the pin out diagram. Pins 4, 9, 10, 12, and 13 are also ground connections. The final stages of both bands are connected to the ground pads on the backside of the package. Therefore this ground connection is essential to dissipate heat and to provide proper current flow. Refer to the evaluation board layout as an example of the vias locations and quantity required for proper connection.
