High linearity performance: Typ -50 dBc ACLR1 at
Avago Technologies’MGA-43628 is a fully matched power
amplifier for use in the (2.0-2.2) GHz band. High linear
output power at 5 V is achieved through the use of Avago
Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 m GaAs Enhancement-
mode pHEMT process. MGA-43628 is housed in a miniature
5.0 mm x 5.0 mm 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-43628 an ideal choice as a
power amplifier for small cell BTS PA applications.

Note:
1. W-CDMA Test model #1, 64DPCH downlink signal.
2. Enhancement mode technology employs positive Vgs, thereby
eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
