Avago's MGA-43x28 PA module series features high linear Pout for good linearity and low distortion, high power added efficiency (PAE), as well as input and output pre-match for matching and application simplicity. Avago's MGA-43x28 PA module series, which is housed in a miniature 5 x 5 x 0.85 mm package, is intended for use as a final stage PA in a wide range of high power WiMAX, WLAN and LTE applications, which operate in the 2300 to 2700MHz spectrum.

The MGA-43x28 PA modules have the same package footprint, pin-out and external matching network to allow a common printed circuit board (PCB) design when used at different frequencies. Additionally, this series of PAs from Avago comes with an integrated bypass switch controlled attenuator, which provides attenuation of ~24.0dB, along with a built-in power detector.

In a typical operating environment of 5-volts and 1 Amp, the MGA-43228 delivers performance of 29.1dBm linear Pout at 2.5 percent error vector magnitude (EVM), 38.5dB gain and 16 percent PAE at 2400MHz. Under the same operating conditions, the MGA-43328 delivers a performance of 29.3dBm linear Pout at 2.5 percent EVM, 37.3dB gain and 16 percent PAE at 2600 MHz. These features enable the MGA-43x28 series PAs to provide high signal quality for computer performance evaluation (CPE) while transmitting at a higher throughput to reduce power consumption.
