Avago Technologies announces a high-performance, low noise amplifier (LNA) in an ultra-thin package size. Avago’s MGA-645T is an easy-to-use LNA with integrated bypass switch and shut down function optimized for customer premise equipment and base station equipment used in 802.11 b/g, WiMAX, WiBro and satellite digital multimedia broadband (S-DMB) applications. Because of WiMAX’s highly volatile transmission environment, low noise amplifiers are essential to improve received signal levels in order to ensure system efficiency and data accuracy. With a built-in bypass switch, Avago’s MGA-645T6 operates in the 2.4 GHz spectrum; a follow-on product will support the 3.5 GHz spectrum. The MGA-645T6 LNA delivers a low noise figure of 1.1 db and good linearity. This improves the receiver’s channel capacity and dynamic range and enables simultaneous WLAN and WiMAX functionality. Additionally, the LNA’s shutdown function extends battery life of portable WiFi devices.
