Surface Mount Dual Matched MMIC Amplifier 50Ω MGVA-62+ 0.04 to 3 GHz The Big Deal •Excellent gain flatness, ±0.5 dB • Dual matched amplifier for push-pull & balanced amplifiers •High dynamic range CASE STYLE: DL1020 Product Overview MGVA-62+ is a dual matched wideband amplifier fabricated using advanced InGap HBT technology, offering high dynamic range (High IP3 and Low NF) for use in 50 and 75 ohm applications. This model has demonstrated high IP2 in wideband amplifier evaluation boards. Combining this performance with low noise figure makes it suitable for use in very high dynamic range amplifiers. Key Features Feature Advantages Broadband Covers many communication bands including cellular, cable TV, PCS, SATCOM, WiMAX, and more. Excellent Gain Flatness: ±0.5 dB over 0.05-3 GHz Requires no gain compensation in most wideband applications. Matched pair for use in high IP3 and IP2 amplifiers Typical gain match of 0.2 dB and phase match of 0.7°, enables it to be used in push-pull amplifiers. Outstanding IP2. High IP2, 70 dBm at 0.9 GHz (Push-Pull amplifier) Excellent suppression of unwanted second harmonics in wide band applications High IP3, up to 38 dBm Ideal for suppressing unwanted intermods in the presence of multiple carriers, now common in many communication systems. High P1dB: Up to 19.8 dBm High P1dB enables the amplifier to operate in linear region in the presence of strong interfering signals. Medium Noise Figure: 4.7-5.3 dB typical Together with High OIP3/P1dB, results in high dynamic range Notes A.
