Product Information
High Gain, High Linearity ½ Watt Amplifier
Product Description
The AH103 is a high gain, high linearity ½-Watt
amplifier. This device is comprised of two individual
MMIC amplifiers internally and can be used with an
external interstage match for any of the mobile
infrastructure frequency bands.
The dual-stage
amplifier achieves up to +46 dBm IP3 performance
with 28.5 dB gain.
The device conforms to WJ Communications’ long
history of producing high reliability and quality
components. The AH103 has an associated MTTF of
a minimum of 100 years at a mounting temperature
of 85°C. All devices are 100% RF & DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifiers
for wireless infrastructure where high performance
and high linearity are required.

7. Typical parameters reflect performance in an application circuit.
8. An IS-95 signal is used for 915 / 1960 MHz. A 3GPP W-CDMA signal is used for 2140 MHz.
Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1. T = 25ºC, Vdd1 = +4.5 V, Vdd2 = +9 V, Frequency = 800 MHz in a tuned application circuit.
2. The frequency of operation & bandwidth is determined by the external interstage match.
3. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +10 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
4. IS-95, 9 Channels Forward, Pk/Avg Ratio = 11.5 dB at a .001% probability
±750 kHz offset, 30 kHz BW, Channel BW = 1.23 MHz, frequency = 880 MHz.
5. The worst-case junction temperature for a given ground tab temperature can be calculated by
multiplying the thermal resistance with the total package power dissipation and adding it to the tab
temperature. ie. At 85°C case temperature for a typical device, the worst-case junction temperature
would be = 85°C + (9 V * 0.2 A + 4.5 V * 0.075 A) = 129°C.
6. The junction temperature ensures a minimum MTTF rating of 1 million hours of usage.

Notes:
1. DNP = Do not place this component.
2. Distance “D1” measured from U1, pin 4 to edge of Cx (where x = 2, 3, or 4).
a.
D1 = 0.620” to C2 (for use with AH103-PCB1750)
The 2.0 pF input tuning capacitor is placed .045” to the left of “C2” shown on the silk
screen. The shunt capacitor is placed directly on the right and adjacent to the input
blocking capacitor C1.
b. D1 = 0.450” to C3 (for use with AH103-PCB1900)
c.
D1 = 0.310” to C4 (for use with AH103-PCB2140)
3. A voltage regulator is used in this circuit (U2) to drop the +9 V to a +5 V usable supply for the first
internal amplifier. It is permissible to remove the regulator and operate the 1
st
amplifier stage
directly off of +5 V supply onto Test Point 1 (TP1). The use of a +5 V supply on the 1
st
amplifier
stage requires a dropping resistor of 6.8
Ω.
4. A +4.5 V supply can also be used to bypass the 6.8
Ω
and can be applied to Test Point 2 (TP2).
