MGA-43003
High Linearity (1.805 – 1.88) GHz Power Amplifier Module
Data Sheet
Description
Features
[1]
Avago Technologies’MGA-43003 is a fully matched power High linearity performance : Typ -48dBc ACLR1
at
amplifier for use in the (1.805-1.88) GHz band. High linear
output power at 5V is achieved through the use of Avago
Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-
mode pHEMT process. MGA-43003 is housed in a miniature
5.0mm x 5.0mm molded-chip-on-board (MCOB) module
package. A detector is also included on-chip. The compact
footprint coupled with high gain, high linearity and good
efficiency makes the MGA-43003 an ideal choice as a
power amplifier for small cell BTS PA applications.
