MGA-43828
925–960 MHz Linear Power Amplifier Module
Data Sheet
Description
Features
[1]
• High linearity performance : Max -50dBc ACLR1 at 27
The Avago MGA-43828 is a fully matched, highly linear
power amplifier (PA) designed for use in the 925-960
MHz band. Based on Avago’s proprietary 0.25um GaAs E-
pHEMT technology, the device features high linearity, gain
and power-added efficiency (PAE) with integrated power
detector and shutdown functions. The MGA-43828 is ideal
for use as a final stage PA for Small Cell base transceiver
station (BTS) applications.

Applications
• Final stage high linearity amplifier for Picocell and
Enterprise Femtocell PA targeted for small cell BTS
downlink 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.
