Product Description
The HS8816-21 is a high-power, high-efficiency Front-End Module for GSM850/900, DCS1800, PCS1900 operation. The FEM also supports Class.12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), EDGE multi-slot operation, and TD-SCDMA linear transmission.
The module provides 50 ohm impedance at input and output ports, consists of a CMOS Controller, a SP16T RF switch, a power amplifier supporting GSM850/900, DCS1800/PCS1900, TD-SCDMA bands 34/39. The module integrated Tx low pass harmonic filtering can achieve best harmonic performance.
The HS8816-21 provides high-power and high-efficiency Pout for GSM850/900, DCS1800, PCS1900 operation mode. As the linear-GMSK operation standard disables VRAMP input, all PA biasing depends only on MIPI mode selection. The transmitted envelope is a linear function of RF input.
The HS8816-21 can sustain 8KV ESD at Antenna port, without external components needed. The module can sustain 20:1 VSWR on Antenna Port under mismatch condition.
