Description
Agilent’s MGA-71543 is an
economical, easy-to-use GaAs
MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA),
which is designed for adaptive
CDMA and W-CDMA receiver
systems. The MGA-71543 is part
of the Agilent Technologies
complete CDMAdvantage RF
chipset.
The MGA-71543 features a
minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB
and 16 dB available gain from a
single stage, feedback FET
amplifier. The input and output
are partially matched, and only a
simple series/shunt inductor
match is required to achieve low
noise figure and VSWR into 50Ω.
The MGA-71543 is designed for
CDMA and W-CDMA receiver
systems. The IP3, Gain, and
mitigative network are tailored to
these applications where filters
are used. Many CDMA systems
operate 20% LNA mode, 80%
bypass. With the bypass current
draw of zero and LNA of 10 mA,
the MGA-71543 allows an average
2 mA current.
The MGA-71543 is a GaAs MMIC,
processed on Agilent’s cost
effective PHEMT (Pseudomorphic
High Electron Mobility Transistor
Technology). It is housed in the
SOT343 (SC70 4-lead) package.

When set into the bypass mode,
both input and output are internally matched through a mitigative
circuit. This circuit draws no
current, yet duplicates the in and
out impedance of the LNA. This
allows the system user to have
minimum mismatch change from
LNA to bypass mode, which is
very important when the
MGA-71543 is used between
duplexers and/or filters.
The MGA-71543 offers an integrated solution of LNA with
adjustable IIP3. The IIP3 can be
fixed to a desired current level for
the receiver’s linearity requirements. The LNA has a bypass
switch function, which provides
low insertion loss at zero current.
The bypass mode also boosts
dynamic range when high level
signal is being received.

Notes:
1. Standard Deviation and Typical Data based at least 450 part sample size from 9 wafers. Future wafers allocated to this product may have nominal
values anywhere within the upper and lower spec limits.
2. Measurements made on a fixed tuned production test circuit (Figure 4) that represents a trade-off between optimal noise match, maximum gain
match, and a realizable match based on production test board requirements at 10 mA bias current. Excess circuit losses have been de-embedded
from actual measurements. Vd=Vds-Vref where Vds is adjusted to maintain a constant Vd bias equivalent to a single supply 3V bias application.
Consult Applications Note for circuit biasing options.
3. Minimum Noise Figure and Associated Gain data computed from s-parameter and noise parameter data measured in a 50Ω system using ATN NP5
test system. Data based on 10 typical parts from 9 wafers. Associated Gain is the gain when the product input is matched for minimum Noise Figure.
4. P1dB measurements were performed in the evaluation circuit with source resistance biasing. As P1dB is approached, the drain current is
maintained near the quiescent value by the feedback effect of the source resistor in the evaluation circuit. Consult Applications Note for circuit
biasing options.
5. Measurements made on a fixed tuned production test circuit that represents a trade-off between optimal noise match, maximum gain match, and a
realizable match based on production test board requirements at 10 mA bias current. Performance may be optimized for different bias conditions
and applications. Consult Applications Note.
6. The Bypass Mode test conditions are required only for the production test circuit (Figure 4) using the gate bias method. In the preferred source
resistor bias configuration, the Bypass Mode is engaged by presenting a DC open circuit instead of the bias resistor on Pin 4.

Notes:
4. P1dB measurements were performed with
passive biasing in Production Test Circuit
(Figure 4.). Quiescent drain current, Idsq, is
set by a fixed Vref with no RF drive applied.
As P1dB is approached, the drain current
may increase or decrease depending on
frequency and DC bias point which typically
88759/06-PM60J-11
Page 5
results in higher P1dB than if the drain
current is maintained constant by active
biasing.
5. P1dB measurements were performed in
Evaluation Test Circuit with source resistor
biasing which maintains the drain current
near the quiescent value under large signal
conditions.

GaAs RFIC low noise amplifier
with an integrated bypass switch
(Figure 1).
RF IN
The MGA-71543 is a small LNA/
Bypass Switch MMIC that provides a low noise figure, a high
gain and high third order input
intercept point (IIP3) ideal for the
first stage LNA of PCS CDMA and
W-CDMA.
Device Description
The MGA-71543 is a single stage
GaAs IC with a built-in bypass
switch housed in a SOT-343
package. The device diagram is
shown in Figures 1 and 2.

ing the same matching network at
both states (LNA State and Bypass
State). This makes the MGA-71543
ideal for use between duplexers
and image reject filters.
The MGA-71543 offers an integrated solution of LNA with
adjustable IIP3. The IIP3 can be
fixed to a desired current level for
the receiver’s linearity requirements. The LNA has a bypass
switch function, which sets the
current to zero (2 µA) and provides low insertion loss when in
bypass mode. The bypass mode
also boosts dynamic range when
high level signal is being received.
Amplifier Mode
Many CDMA systems operate
20% LNA and 80% bypass mode.
For example, with the bypass
draw of zero and LNA of 10 mA,
the MGA-71543 allows an average
of only 2 mA current.

Control
The MGA-71543 is designed for
receivers and transmitters operating from 100 MHz to 6 GHz, mainly
for CDMA applications i.e. IS-95
CDMA1900, CDMA800 and
W-CDMA. It can be used as a first
stage (Q1) in a CDMA PCS
1900 MHz application currently
filled by a single transistor. Its
bypass capability adds features
over the single transistor solution
with no performance loss. The
device can also be used as a driver
amplifier for CDMA800.
The purpose of the switch feature
is to prevent distortion of high
signal levels in receiver applications by bypassing the amplifier.
Furthermore, zero current draw,
when in bypass mode, saves
current thus improving battery
life.
The internally matched switching
circuit provides a 20 dB gain step
and also reduces gain ripple and
mismatch in system usage.

The MGA-71543 is a GaAs MMIC,
processed on Agilent’s cost
effective PHEMT (Pseudomorphic
High Electron Mobility Transistor
Technology). It is housed in the
SOT343 (SC70 4-lead) package.
Biasing
This IC can be biased like a
depletion mode discrete GaAsFET.
Two kinds of passive biasing can
be used: gate bias (Figure 4) and
source resistor bias method
(Figure 6).
The MGA-71543 features a minimum noise figure of 0.8 dB and
16 dB available gain. The input
and output are partially matched,
and only a simple series/shunt
inductor match is required to
achieve low noise figure and
VSWR into 50Ω.
When set into the bypass mode,
both input and output are internally matched through a mitigative
circuit. This circuit draws no
current (less than 2 µA), yet
duplicates the in and out impedance of the LNA (Figure 3). This
allows the system user to have
minimum mismatch change from
LNA to Bypass mode, thus allow-
Gate Bias
Pins 1 and 4 (Figure 4) are DC
grounded and a negative bias
voltage is applied to Pin 3 in
addition to the power supply (2.7
or 3 V) applied to Pin 2. This
method of biasing has the advantage of minimizing parasitic
source inductance because the
device is directly DC and RF
grounded.

The DC supply at the input
terminal (Vref) can be applied

The voltage at Vref (Pin 3) with
respect to ground determines the
device current, Id. A plot of typical
Id vs. Vref is shown in Figure 5.
Maximum device current
(approximately 60 mA) occurs at
Vref = 0 (i.e. Vgs= 0).
When using the gate biasing
method, the bypass mode is
activated when Vds = 0 V and
Vref < -2V.
The current of the amplifier (Id) is
set by the value of the resistor
Rbias. This resistor (Rbias) is
connected at Pin 4 as shown in
Figure 6 and RF bypassed. At least
two capacitors in parallel are
recommended for RF bypassing.
One capacitor (100 pF) for high
frequency bypassing and a second,
large value capacitor for better
low frequency bypassing. The
large value capacitor is added in
parallel to improve the IP3
because they help ground the low
frequency mixing terms that are
generated during a two tones test
(i.e. f1 – f2 term which is the
separation of the two tones
usually 1 to a few MHz) and thus
improve the IIP3.

where Rbias is in ohms and Id is the
desired device current in mA.
A simple method for DC grounding the input terminal (Pin 3) is to
use a shunt inductor that is also
part of the noise-matching
network.
Adaptive Biasing
For applications in which input
power levels vary over a wide
range, it may be useful to dynamically adapt the bias of the
MGA-71543 to match the signal
level. A sensor senses the signal
level at some point in the system
(usually in the baseband circuitry)
and automatically adjusts the bias
current of the amplifier accordingly. The main advantage of
adaptive biasing is conservation of
supply current (longer battery life)
by using only the amount of
current necessary to handle the
input signal without distortion.

This is the recommended method
because it only requires one
(positive) power supply. As shown
in Figure 6, Pin 3 is DC grounded
and pins 1 and 4 are RF bypassed.

Adaptive biasing of the
MGA-71543 can be accomplished
by simple digital means (Figure 8).
For instance simple electronic
switches can be used to control
the value of the source resistor in
discrete increment.

Applying the Device Voltage
Common to all methods of
biasing, voltage Vd is applied to
the MGA-71543 through the RF
output connection (Pin 2). The
bias line is capacitively bypassed
to keep RF from the DC supply
lines and prevent resonant dips or
peaks in the response of the
amplifier. Where practical, it may
be cost effective to use a length of
high impedance transmission line
(usually λ /4 line) in place of the
RFC.
When using the gate bias method,
the applied device voltage, Vds, is
equal to voltage Vd (at pin 2) since
Vs is zero.

Controlling the Switch
The device current controls the
state of the MGA-71543 (amplifier
or bypass mode). For device
currents greater than 3 mA, it
functions as an amplifier. If a
lower current is drawn, the gain of
the amplifier is significantly
reduced and the performance will
degrade. If the device current is
set to zero, the MGA-71543 is
switched into a bypass mode in
which the signal is routed around
the amplifier with a loss of about
5.6 dB.
The simplest way of switching the
MGA-71543 to the bypass mode is
to open-circuit the terminals at
Pins 1 and 4. The bypass mode is
also set by increasing the source
resistance Rbias to greater than
1 MΩ. With the DC ground connection open, the internal control
circuit of the MGA-71543 autoswitches from amplifier mode into
a bypass mode and the device
current drops to near zero. Typical
bypass mode current is 2 µA.

For source resistor biasing

voltage, Vds, is Vd – Vs. The bias

Switching Speed
The speed at which the
MGA-71543 switches between
states is extremely fast. The
intrinsic switching speed is
typically around 10 ns. However in
practical circuits, the switching
speed is limited by the time
constants of the external bias
circuit components (current
setting resistor and bypass
capacitors). These external
components increase the switching time to around 100ns. Furthermore, the switching ON time is
slightly lower (faster) than the
switching OFF time (i.e. It
switches on faster).
Thermal issues
The Mean Time To Failure (MTTF)
of semiconductors is inversely
proportional to the operating
temperature.
When biased at 3V and 10 mA for
LNA applications, the power
dissipation is 3V x 10 mA = 30 mW.
The temperature increment from
the RFIC channel to its case is
then 30 mW x θ jc = 0.030 watt x
240°C/watt = 7.2°C. Subtracting
the channel-to-case temperature
rise from the suggested maximum
junction temperature of 150°C, the
resulting maximum allowable case
temperature is 143°C.
The worst case thermal situation
occurs when the MGA-71543 is
operated at its maximum operating conditions in an effort to
maximize output power or achieve
minimum distortion. A similar
calculation for the maximum
operating bias of 4.2 volts and
50 mA yields a maximum allowable case temperature of 100°C.
(i.e. 210 mW x θ jc = 0.210 watt x
240°C/watt = 50.4°C
150°C – 50.4°C = 100°C.)
This calculation assumes the
worst case of no RF power being
extracted from the device. When
operated in a saturated mode,
both power-added efficiency and
the maximum allowable case
temperature will increase.
Note: “Case” temperature for
surface mount packages such as
the SOT-343 refers to the interface
between the package pins and the

mounting surface, i.e., the temperature at the PCB mounting
pads. The primary heat path from
the RFIC chip to the system
heatsink is by means of conduction through the package leads
and ground vias to the ground
plane of the PCB.
Grounding Consideration in
PCB Layout
The MGA-71543 requires careful
attention during grounding. Any
device with gain can be made to
oscillate if feedback is added.
Since poor grounding adds series
feedback, it can cause the device
to oscillate. Poor grounding is one
of the most common causes of
oscillation in RF components.
Careful attention should be used
when RF bypassing the ground
terminals when the device is
biased using the source resistor
method.

RF bypass
For layouts using the source
resistor method of biasing, both of
the ground terminals of the
MGA-71543 must be well bypassed
to maintain device stability.
Beginning with the package pad
print in Figure 12, and RF layout
similar to the one shown in
Figure 13 is a good starting point
for using the MGA-71543 with
capacitor-bypassed ground
terminals. It is a best practice to
use multiple vias to minimize
overall ground path inductance.

LNA Application
In the following sections the LNA
design is described in a more
general way. Sample evaluation
boards for 1900 MHz and 800 MHz
are shown in a table (Table 1) and
the appropriate board diagram is
shown (Figures 22 and 23). A
second smaller size board is also
shown (Figures 25 and 26) with
the corresponding table (Table 2).
The smaller board is an example
of reducing the size of the layout,
more suitable for handset manufacturers. For low noise amplifier
application, the LNA is typically
biased 6 to 20 mA.
The MGA-71543 is a conditionally
stable device, therefore, the
proper input and output loads
must be presented in addition to
properly RF grounding the device.
Please refer to the stability section
for tips on preventing oscillation.
The LNA can be switched ON or
OFF by a simply varying the
resistor to its ground leads as
described in previous sections.

PCB Materials
0.031 inches thick of FR-4 or G-10
type dielectric materials are
typical choices for most low cost
wireless applications using single
layer printed boards. As an
alternative, a Getek material with
a multilayer printed circuit board
can be used for a smaller size
board, where:
1st layer: RF routing layer
2nd layer: Ground layer
3rd layer: Power (DC) routing layer
4th layer: Other RF routing layer
The spacing between the layers is
as follows:
Between the 1st and 2nd: 0.005"
Between the 2nd and 3rd: 0.020"
Between the 3rd and 4th: 0.005"

the input and output are conju-

gately matched to 50Ω. For
instance at the input, when Γs =
Γin* the highest gain with the best
power transfer is obtained where
Γs is the source reflection coefficient presented to the input pin.
For best noise, Γs = ΓOPT, where
ΓOPT is the source reflection
coefficient for optimum NF match
and is determined empirically
(experimentally). However, an
input match where Γs = ΓOPT does
not necessarily yield the best
return loss nor the best gain.
Input Match
To allow flexibility for the designer, the LNA is intended to be
used with external matching
network at the input.
The noise performance of a two
port can be determined if the
values of the noise parameters
Fmin, rn = Rn /50 and ΓOPT are
known (shown in the datasheet),
where these parameters are given
by:
F50 = Fmin +
4rn|Γs – ΓOPT| 2
(1 – |Γs| 2 ) |1 + ΓOPT| 2
2
rn = (F50 – Fmin) |1 + ΓOPT|
4|ΓOPT| 2
ΓOPT = ZOPT – ZO
ZOPT + ZO
Where
Fmin is the minimum noise figure
that is obtained when Γs = ΓOPT .
Rn is the noise resistance that
indicates the sensitivity of the
noise performance.
Γs is the source reflection coefficient presented to the input pin.
ΓOPT is the source reflection
coefficient for optimum NF match.
Any change in Γs affects the noise
figure of our amplifier. To obtain
the best noise figure, the following
relation: Γs = ΓOPT must be
satisfied. However, this might
affect our return loss at the input
because it creates more mismatch
(at the input) and there is less
power transfer to the LNA.
Therefore the best solution should
be the one that gives a reasonable
input return loss with the best
noise figure associated to it.
The noise figure F of an amplifier
is determined by the input matching circuit. The output matching
does not affect the noise (has a
significantly minimal effect on
noise figure).
To obtain the best noise match a
simple two elements match is
used at the input of the device.
Using the ΓOPT magnitude and
phase at the frequency of interest,
the noise match is done. The
topology that has a capacitor to
ground is ignored because it does
not allow the input to be DC
grounded as is required by the
source bias method. Therefore the
series-L-shunt-L topology is used.
The final values of the noise
matching circuit (input match)
was a result of some more empirical tuning in the lab that was a
compromise between the various
important parameters. Typical
Gain, noise and stability circles
are shown in Figures 17 – 20. Most
simulations were done using
Agilent-EEsof’s Advanced Design
System (ADS).
Stability
A stable circuit is a circuit that
does not oscillate. Oscillation can
take the form of spurious signal
and noise generation. This usually
results in changes in DC operating
point (bias level fluctuates). The
oscillations can be triggered by
changes in the source (input
match), load (output match), bias
level and last but not least:
improper grounding.
Design for Stability
The main potential for oscillation
with the MGA-71543 is improper
grounding and/or improper RF
bypass capacitors. Any device
with gain can be made to oscillate
if feedback is added. Proper
grounding may be achieved by
minimizing inductance paths to
the ground plane. Passive components should be chosen for high
frequency operation. Bias circuit
self resonance due to inadequate
bypass capacitors or inadequate
grounding may cause high frequency, out of band, instability.
Smaller 0402 size bypass capacitors are recommended to minimize parasitic inductance and
resonance of the bias circuit.
Statistical Parameters
Several categories of parameters
appear within the electrical
specification portion of the
MGA-71543 datasheet. Parameters
may be described with values that
are either “minimum or maximum”, “typical” or “standard
deviations”.
The values for parameters are
based on comprehensive product
characterization data, in which
automated measurements are
made on a statistically significant
number of parts taken from
nonconsecutive process lots of
semiconductor wafers. The data
derived from product characterization tends to be normally
distributed, e.g. fits the standard
bell curve.

+3σ
Parameters considered to be the
most important to system performance are bounded by minimum
or maximum values. For the
MGA-71543, these parameters are:
Vref test, NFtest, Gatest, IIP3 test, and
ILtest. Each of the guaranteed
parameters is 100% tested as part
of the normal manufacturing and
test process.
Standard statistics tables or
calculations provide the probability of a parameter falling between
any two values, usually symmetrically located about the mean.
Referring to Figure 15 for
example, the probability of a
parameter being between ±1σ is
68.3%; between ±2σ is 95.4%; and
between ±3σ is 99.7%.
Values for most of the parameters
in the table of Electrical Specifications that are described by typical
data are the mathematical mean
(µ), of the normal distribution
taken from the characterization
data. For parameters where
measurements or mathematical
averaging may not be practical,
such as S-parameters or Noise
parameters and the performance
curves, the data represents a
nominal part taken from the
center of the characterization
distribution. Typical values are
intended to be used as a basis for
electrical design.
Phase Reference Planes
The positions of the reference
plane used to specify S-parameters
and Noise Parameters for the
MGA-71543 are shown in
Figure 16. As seen in the illustration, the reference planes are
located at the point where the
package leads contact the test
circuit.
To assist designers in optimizing
not only the immediate amplifier
circuit using the MGA-71543, but
to also evaluate and optimize
tradeoffs that affect a complete
wireless system, the standard
deviation (σ) is provided for
many of the Electrical Specification parameters (at 25°C). The
standard deviation is a measure of
the variability about the mean. It
will be recalled that a normal
distribution is completely described by the mean and standard
deviation.
Reference Planes
Electronic devices may be subjected to ESD damage in any of
the following areas:
Storage & handling
Inspection
Assembly & testing
In-circuit use
The MGA-71543 is an ESD Class 1
device. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended
when handling, inspecting, testing,
assembling, and using these
devices to avoid damage.
Any user-accessible points in
wireless equipment (e.g., antenna
or battery terminals) provide an
opportunity for ESD damage.
For circuit applications in which
the MGA-71543 is used as an input
or output stage with close coupling to an external antenna, the
RFIC should be protected from
high voltage spikes due to human
contact with the antenna.
Test Circuit
Figure 16. Phase Reference Planes.
Electrostatic Sensitivity
RFICs are electrostatic discharge (ESD)
sensitive devices.
Although the MGA-71543 is robust
in design, permanent damage may
occur to these devices if they are
subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic
charges as high as several thousand volts (which readily accumulate on the human body and on
test equipment) can discharge
without detection and may result
in failure or degradation in
performance and reliability.
Figure 17. In-circuit ESD Protection.
A best practice, illustrated in
Figure17, is to place a shunt
inductor (RFC) at the antenna
connection to protect the receiver
and transmitter circuits. It is often
advantageous to integrate the
RFIC into a diplexer or T/R switch
control circuitry.
