The MAX2010 is an adjustable RF predistorter designed to improve power amplifier (PA) adjacent-channel power rejection (ACPR) by introducing gain and phase expansion in a PA chain to compensate for the PA’s gain and phase compression.
The MAX2010 adjustable RF predistorter is designed to improve power‑amplifier adjacent‑channel power rejection by providing gain and phase expansion. It operates from 500 MHz to 1.1 GHz, supports a maximum input level of +23 dBm, and can deliver up to 12 dB of ACPR improvement.
The device is supplied in a 28‑pin thin QFN‑EP package, requires a single +5 V supply (4.75‑5.25 V), and operates over –40 °C to +85 °C. Detailed electrical characteristics include gain expansion up to 6 dB, phase expansion up to 21°, low group‑delay (<2.4 ns), and a typical noise figure of 5.5 dB.
