Low noise amplifiers fit WiMAX apps


( 01 May 2008 )

• The ultra-compact MGA-12516/13516/14516 base station LNAs achiever very low-noise figures and high-gain performance at very low current consumption levels.

• Ideal for a wide range of cellular (GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, CMA2000, and TD-SCDMA) and WiMAX infrastructure applications, including picocell and femtocell base stations.

• Housed in a miniature 4x4xx0.85mm 16-pin quad-flat-non-lead (QFN) package.

• The MGA-13516 and MGA-14516 are two-stage LNAs with built-in active bias circuity and the ability to adjust the supply current and gain through external matching without affecting the noise figure.

• The MGA-13516 is ideal for 400MHZ to 1.5GHz, while the MGA-14516 is designed for 1.4GHz to 2.7GHz frequencies. At 5V, 155mA

• The MGA-13516 achieves an impressive 0.66 dB noise figure, 31dB gain, 38dBm OIP3 and 24dBm P1dB at 900MHz.

• The MeGA-14516 delivers a 0.68dB noise figure, 33dB gain, 38dBm OPI3 and 24dBm P1dB at 1.95GHz.
