Description

The MGA-565P8 is buffer amplifier designed for use in LO chains to drive high dynamic range passive mixers with consistent high Psat of 20dBm with 0dBm input power, isolation of 42dB and small signal gain of 22dB gain, ideal for use as a buffer amplifier in cellular/PCS/WCDMA/CDMA2000 base station and other wireless infrastructure application up to 3GHz frequency range. It is fabricated using Avago Technologies' GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process and housed in an 8-lead LPCC (JEDEC DFP-N) package.

The MGA-565P8 is designed for use in LO chains to drive high dynamic range passive mixers. It provides high isolation, high gain, and consistent output power. It is a GaAs MMIC, fabricated using Agilent Technologies' cost effective, reliable enhancement mode PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor)[ 1] process. This device is housed in the LPCC 2x2 mm package. This package offers good thermal dissipation and RF characteristics.

MGA-565P8 features a saturated power of 20 dBm (with 0 dBm input power) and reverse isolation in excess of 40 dB at 2 GHz.The saturated output power can be set between 9 dBm and 20 dBm using an external resistor, with a corresponding adjustment in current consumption.
