Product Description
The OM8820-21 is a high-power, high-efficiency Front-End Module for GSM850/EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 operation. The FEM supports Class12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), EDGE multi-slot operation, and dual band TD-SCDMA/TD-LTE linear transmission. This FEM builds upon OnMicro's unique power amplifier architecture technology to provide maximum efficiency and output power, integrated over-current and over-voltage regulating technology stable ruggedness and TRP performance under load mismatch.
The module provides 50 Ω impedance at input and output ports, consists of a CMOS Controller, a RF switch with integrated Tx low pass harmonic filtering can achieve best harmonic performance. The OM8820-21 supports both the linear-GMSK operation standard and VRAMP-BASED operation facilitating various platforms application implementation. For dual antenna handset designs, the OM8820-21 has dedicated LB and M/HB antenna ports that provide simultaneous LB and M/HB reception required for downlink CA. Alternatively, downlink CA can be supported by an external diplexer for single antenna handset designs.
This FEM can sustain 8KV ESD at Antenna port, without external components needed, and also guarantee robust 12:1 VSWR on Antenna Port under load mismatch condition.
