3.17.1 UMTS PAM (U1002, ACPM-5281)
The ACPM-5281 is a dual-band PAM (Power Amplifier Module) designed for UMTS Band1 and Band8.
The ACPM-5281 meets stringent UMTS linearity requirements. The 4mmx5mm form factor 14-pin
surface mount package is self contained, incorporating 50ohm input and output matching networks
The ACPM-5281 features 5th generation of CoolPAM circuit technology which supports 3 modes –
bypass, mid and high power modes. The CoolPAM is stage bypass technology which enables power
amplifier to lower power consumption. Active bypass feature is added to 5th generation to enhance
power added efficiency at low output range and this technology extends talk time of mobiles more by
further saving power amplifier’s current consumption. The power amplifier is manufactured on an
advanced InGaP HBT (hetero-junction Bipolar Transistor) MMIC (microwave monolithic integrated
circuit) technology offering state-of-the-art reliability, temperature stability and ruggedness The
Module is housed in a cost effective, small and thin 4x5mm package.
