Highlights
The IBM43RF0100 silicon germanium
(SiGe) HBTdelivers high performance at
a low power consumption for a broad
range of applications.With an F
t
of over
15 GHz (measured at 3 Volts,5mA),this
HBTis well suited for baseband,IF and
RF functions in a variety of systems such
as digital wireless handsets for PCS and
cellular,wireless local loop,and wireless
LAN.This versatile device may be used
in your system in multiple capacities
ranging from a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO) to an assortment of
amplifiers,including a transmit driver
amplifier,IF amplifier,or low noise ampli-
fier (LNA).Featuring an unprecedented
combination of high gain,low noise and
high linearity,the IBM43RF0100 enables
designers to satisfy diverse application
needs without compromising one design
advantage to maximize another.
The IBM43RF0100 exhibits excellent
device linearity efficiency — a measure of
two-tone third-order distortion ratio to the
DC power.The transistor achieves a two-
tone,third-order input intercept in excess
of +13 dBm (20 mW) with a DC power of
less than 16 mWat 1.9 GHz.
