2.4.3 Power Amplifier Module
The Power Amplifier Module [SKY77325, U709] is a dual-band GSM/DCS power amplifier module that
incorporates an indirect closed loop method of power control.
The indirect closed loop is fully self-contained and it does not require loop optimization. It can be
driven directly from the DAC output in the baseband circuit.
On-board power control provides over 37 dB of control range with an analog voltage input [VAPC].
Efficiency is about 53% at GSM and about 53% at DCS.
