Power Amplifier KU PA 5358 AL

The new power amplifier KU PA 5358 AL features best performance for digital applications in the 5.6 GHz range. It achieves an EVM of typ. 1.2 % @ 0.5 W average output power and an EVM lower than 2.2 % @ 1 W average output power over the complete frequency band from 5300 to 5800 MHz (measured with single-carrier, 64-QAM, 6 Msps). The power amplifier has excellent rejection of spurious and harmonic signals. Many protection and monitoring features allow easy and reliable handling.
