MGA-43528
High Linearity (1.93 – 1.995) GHz Power Ampli er Module
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ MGA-43528 is a fully matched
power ampli er for use in the (1.93 – 1.995) GHz band.
High linear output power at 5V is achieved through the
use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs En-
hancement-mode pHEMT process. MGA-43528 is housed
in a miniature 5.0mm x 5.0mm 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 e ciency makes the MGA-43528
an ideal choice as a power ampli er for small cell BTS PA
applications.
Applications
 Final and driver stage high linearity ampli er for
Picocell and Enterprise Femtocell basestations

Note:
1. W-CDMA Test model #1, 64DPCH downlink signal.
2. Enhancement mode technology employs positive Vgs, thereby
eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.

Notes
1. All capacitors on supply lines are bypass capacitors
2. C1 / C2 are RF coupling capacitors.
3. Idq1= 60.0mA, Idq2 = 110mA, Idq3 = 270.0mA, I_VddBias = 14.0mA. Idq1/2/3 are adjusted by voltages to CMOS-compatible control pins Vc1/2/3
respectively. These typical bias currents were obtained with Vc1/2/3 voltages in Figure 30 above. Adjustment of these currents enable optimum
bias conditions to be achieved for best linearity and e ciency for a given modulation type.
