Description

Avago Technologies’ MGA-43040 is a fully matched power amplifier for use in the (2.3 – 2.4) GHz band. High linear output power at 5V is achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 µm GaAs Enhancementmode pHEMT process. MGA-43040 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-43040 an ideal choice as a power amplifier for small cell BTS PA applications.
