The Big Deal
• High IP3 at low current consumption, 57mA
• Broadband High Dynamic Range
without external Matching Components*
SOT-89 PACKAGE
Product Overview
PGA-1021+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using E-PHEMT technology
and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure. In ad-
dition, the PGA-1021+ has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the
need for external matching components and has demonstrated excellent reliability. Lead finish is SnAgNi.
It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal
performance.
Key Features

Advantages
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX
Broad Band: 0.05 to 6.0 GHz
The PGA-1021+ provides good IP3 performance relative to device size and power con-
sumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT Structure provides enhanced
linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 15 dB above
the P 1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in:
• Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths
High IP3
Versus DC power Consumption:
26.7 dBm typical at 2 GHz at +3.3V
Supply Voltage and only 83mA
• Drivers in linearized transmit systems
• Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers
Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits PGA-1021+ provides Input and Output Return Loss
of 15-21 dB up to 4 GHz without the need for any external matching components.
However, an external resistor, R1=2.37kΩ is used for biasing (See Figure 2)
*No External Matching Components
Required
Low Noise Figure:
2.3 dB up to 0.8 GHz
A unique feature of the PGA-1021+ which separates this design from all competitors is
the low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.
