The MGA-43x28 power amplifier modules for WiMAX and Wi-Fi applications operate in the 2-GHz range and reside in 5 mm x 5 mm x 0.85 mm packages. The modules have the same package footprint, pin-out, and external matching network to allow a common printed circuit board (PCB) design when used at different frequencies. Additionally, they come with an integrated bypass switch controlled attenuator. In a typical operating environment of 5V and 1A, the MGA-43228 delivers performance of 29.1-dBm linear Pout at 2.5% error vector magnitude (EVM), 38.5 dB gain and 16% PAE at 2,400 MHz. Under the same operating conditions, the MGA-43328 delivers a performance of 29.3 dBm linear Pout at 2.5% EVM, 37.3 dB gain, and 16% PAE at 2,600 MHz. The MGA-43228 and MGA-43328 are priced at $7.49 each/1,000. AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES, San Jose, CA. (800) 235-0312.
