There are two amplifier chains, one to support GSM850/900 bands, the other for DCS/PCS bands. The module includes an internal reference voltage and integrated power control scheme for use in both GMSK and 8-PSK operation. This facilitates fast and easy production calibration and reduces the number of external components required to complete a power control function. The amplifier’s power control range is typically 55 dB, with the output power set by applying an analog voltage to VRAMP. All of the RF ports for this device are internally matched to 50 Ω . Internal DC blocks are provided at the RF inputs.
