UMTS (WCDMA) Performance vs. Output Power (TAMP-242GLN+)

Mini-Circuits TAMP-242GLN+ Ultra-low Noise Drop-In Amplifier Module is an ideal low noise amplifier for use in UMTS (WCDMA) Base Station or Tower Mounted Low Noise Applications. The TAMP-242GLN+ provides a optimized combination of critical performance: Low Noise/High Dynamic Range/Input & Output Match/Unconditional Stability.

The High IP3 enables extremely low intermodulation and EVM distortion, making this an ideal high gain LNA for WCDMA signals. The multi-stage E-PHEMT based module provides typically +42 dBm OIP3 which translates to extremely linear performance in systems that require high dynamic range.
