DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPG2118K is a 1.5W, 3 stage power ampli?er
developed primarily for DCS/PCS1800 applications.
With modi?ed external matching the UPG2118K can
be tuned from 800 to 2500 MHz.
Use of E-mode FET technology delivers high ef?ciency
and high linearity with a single positive low voltage
supply.
APPLICATIONS
? 1800 MHz DCS/PCS
? 915 AND 2450 ISM BAND USAGE
? AUTOMATIC METER READERS
? WIRELESS SECURITY
? SATELLITE UPLINK
