Ultra High Dynamic Range Monolithic Ampliefi r PGA-1021+ 50 0.05 to 6 GHz The Big Deal High IP3 at low current consumption, 57mA Broadband High Dynamic Range without external Matching Components* SOT-89 PACKAGE Product Overview PGA-1021+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using E-PHEMT technology and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure. In ad - dition, the PGA-1021+ has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching components and has demonstrated excellent reliability. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal performance. Key Features Feature Advantages Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands: Broad Band: 0.05 to 6.0 GHz Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX The PGA-1021+ provides good IP3 performance relative to device size and power con- High IP3 sumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT Structure provides enhanced Versus DC power Consumption: linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 15 dB above 26.7 dBm typical at 2 GHz at +3.3V the P 1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in: Supply Voltage and only 83mA Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths Drivers in linearized transmit systems Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits PGA-1021+ provides Input and Output Return Loss *No External Matching Components of 15-21 dB up to 4 GHz without the need for any external matching components. Required However, an external resistor, R1=2.37k is used for biasing (See Figure 2) Low Noise Figure: A unique feature of the PGA-1021+ which separates this design from all competitors is 2.3 dB up to 0.8 GHz the low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.
