Description

Avago Technologies’ MGA-43024 is a fully matched power amplifier for use in the WLAN band (2401- 2484 MHz). High linear output power at 5.0 V is achieved through the use of Avago’s proprietary 0.25 µm GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process. MGA-43024 is housed in a miniature 5.0 mm × 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-43024 an ideal choice as a power amplifier for small cell enterprise WLAN PA applications.
