AP561
0.7-2.9 GHz 8W Power Amplifier
The AP561 can be configured to operate with lower bias current by varying the bias-adjust resistor R2. (Table 1) The
recommended circuit configurations shown previously in this datasheet have the device operating with a 300 mA as the
quiescent current (I
upon the efficiency of the device, but degrade the EVM performance. Measured data shown in the plots below represents the
AP561-PCB2500 measured and configured for 2.6GHz applications. It is expected that variation of the bias current for other
frequency applications will produce similar performance results.
