PRODUCT OVERVIEW
PGA-1021+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using E-pHEMT technology and offers extremely
high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure. In addition, the PGA-1021+ has good input and
output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching components and has demonstrated
excellent reliability. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for
very good thermal performance.
KEY FEATURES
Feature
Broad Band: 0.05 to 6.0 GHz
High IP3
Versus DC Power Consumption:
+26.7 dBm Typical at 2 GHz at +3.3 V
Supply Voltage and Only 83 mA
Advantages
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX
The PGA-1021+ provides good IP3 performance relative to device size and power consumption. The combination
of the design and E-pHEMT Structure provides enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidenced in
the IP3 being typically 15 dB above the P1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in:
y Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths
y Drivers in linearized transmit systems
y Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers
No External Matching Components
Required
Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits PGA-1021+ provides Input and Output Return Loss of 15-21 dB up to
4 GHz without the need for any external matching components.
However, an external resistor, R1=2.37kΩ is used for biasing (See Figure 2).
Low Noise Figure: 2.4 dB at 2 GHz
A unique feature of the PGA-1021+ which separates this design from all competitors is the low noise figure
performance in combination with the high dynamic range.

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation.
RF-OUT and

RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper
operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in
“Recommended Application Circuit”, Fig. 2.
