    Qorvo's RF3518 single-band linear power amplifier supports B8 (880-915MHz) in 3.4V, 50 ohm mobile equipment designed for 3G UMTS transmit. RF3518 meets the spectral linearity requirements of HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA+ SDPA, with high power added efficiency. Two digital control pins selects high, medium or low power modes to optimize performance and current drain at different power levels. RF3518 integrates a directional coupler that eliminates the need for an external discrete coupler.
