Avago Technologies has introduced two new two new power amplifiers (PAs) based on the firm’s proprietary 0.25 micron GaAs enhancement-mode pHEMT technology.
The MGA-31589MGA-31589 0.5-watt gain block addresses cellular and WiMAX wireless base station and other wireless systems operating between 450 to 1500 MHz, while the MGA-31689 MGA-31689 0.5-watt device addresses these applications operating between 1500 to 3000 MHz.
At the typical operating condition of 5V and 146 mA, the MGA-31589 device delivers performance of 20.4 dB Gain, 45.3 dBm Output Third Order Intercept Point (OIP3), 27.2 dBm Output Power at 1 dB Gain Compression (P1dB) and 1.9 dB noise figure at 900 MHz.
At the typical operating condition of 5V and 168 mA, the MGA-31689 device delivers performance of 18.1 dB Gain, 44.9 dBm Output Third Order Intercept Point (OIP3), 27.6 dBm Output Power at 1 dB Gain Compression (P1dB) and 1.9 dB noise figure at 1900 MHz.
MGA-31x89 devices are all available in the SOT-89 package. The MGA-31589 and MGA-31689 high gain PAs are priced at $2.63 each in 10,000 piece lots.
