PMA3-43-1W+ RF Amplifier by Mini-Circuits

The PMA3-43-1W+ from Mini-Circuits is a GaAs Power Amplifier (PA) MMIC that operates from 10 to 4000 MHz. It delivers a saturated output power of +32.6 dBm (~1.8 W) with a gain of 21 dB. This PA is manufactured using GaAs MMIC technology that combines high operating output power with low noise figure, enabling a significant signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) advantage for systems requiring high dynamic range. It also has a high OIP3 and low 2nd and 3rd order harmonic responses, which provide very low in-band distortion products that are typically needed for high fidelity measurement systems.

The PMA3-43-1W+ has a small footprint that saves PCB space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions and excellent thermal contact with the PCB. This RoHS-compliant amplifier is available in a 12-lead QFN package that measures 3 x 3 mm, allowing for ease of assembly in high volume manufacturing processes. It is ideal for test and measurement, EW, ECM, 5G sub-6, MIMO wireless infrastructure, microwave radio, VSAT, and radar applications.
