MGA-22003
2.3-2.7 GHz 3x3mm WiMAX and WiFi Power Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies MGA-22003 linear power amplifier is
designed for mobile and fixed wireless data applications
in the 2.3 to 2.7 GHz frequency range. The PA is optimized
for IEEE 802.16 WiMAX/WiBro modulation but can be used
for any high linearity applications. The PA exhibits flat gain
and good match while providing linear power efficiency
to meet stringent mask conditions. It utilizes Avago Tech-
nologies proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT
technology for superior performance across voltage and
temperature levels.
The MGA-22003 is packaged in a 3x3x1 mm package for
space-constrained applications.
