Low Noise Amplifiers With High Linearity Offerings: MGA Series

Avago presents four low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) to extend the RF performance and diversity of its market-leading LNA portfolio. The new modules feature high linearity that improves an application's ability to distinguish between desired signals and spurious signals received close together. The MGA-6x606 LNAs target WiFi and WiMAX data cards, handsets and other portable devices, while the two-stage MGA-13x16 LNAs target GSM, CDMA and W-CDMA cellular infrastructure applications such as base station radio cards.

MGA-64606 Low Noise Amplifier with switchable Bypass/Shutdown Mode in Low Profile Package

Avago Technologies' MGA-64606 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Bypass/Shutdown mode.

MGA-64606 has a low noise figure and high linearity achieved through the use of Avago Technologies' proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.

The 1.5-3.0 GHz MGA-64606 LNA has switchable shutdown and bypass functionality that enables it to be bypassed during periods of high input signal power. This feature reduces current consumption, conserving battery-life in portable devices. The MGA-64606 addresses GPS, WiMAX, WLAN, WiBro and DMB and other applications.

MGA-13116 High Gain, High Linearity and Very Low Noise Amplifier

Avago Technologies' MGA-13116 is a two stage, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with active bias.

The LNA has low noise with good input return loss and high linearity achieved through the use of Avago Technologies' proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
