MGA-725M4 is an economical,
easy-to-use GaAs MMIC Low
Noise Amplifier (LNA), which is
designed for an adaptive CDMA
receiver LNA and adaptive CDMA
transmit driver amplifier.
the receiver’s linearity require-
ments. The LNA has a bypass
switch function, which sets the
current to zero and provides low
insertion loss. The bypass mode
also boosts dynamic range when
high level signal is being received.
• Adjustable Input IP3:
+2 to +14.7 dBm
• Miniature package:
1.4 mm x 1.2 mm
2.7 V to 5.0 V operation
The MGA-725M4 features a typical
noise figure of 1.4 dB and 14.4 dB
associated gain from a single
stage, feedback FET amplifier.
The output is internally matched
to 50Ω. The input is optimally
internally matched for lowest
noise figure into 50Ω. The input
may be additionally externally
matched for low VSWR through
the addition of a single series
inductor. When set into the bypass
mode, both input and output are
internally matched to 50Ω.
Applications
• CDMA (IS-95, J-STD-008) Receiver
LNA
For the CDMA driver amplifier
applications, the MGA-725M4
provides suitable gain and linear-
ity to meet the ACPR requirement
when the handset transmits the
highest power. When transmitting
lower power, the MGA-725M4 can
be bypassed, saving the drawing
current.
