Agilent MGA-545P8
1–7 GHz Medium Power Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Agilent’s MGA-545P8 is an
economical, low current, medium
power, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC
amplifier that offers excellent
power output at 5.8 GHz. Although
optimized for 5.8 GHz applications,
the MGA-545P8 is suitable for other
applications in the 1 to 7 GHz
frequency range.
With the addition of a simple input
match, the MGA-545P8 offers a
small signal gain of 11.5 dB, a
saturated power output of 22 dBm
and a saturated gain of 9.5 dB at

5.8 GHz. The MGA-545P8 has a
nominal current consumption of
92 mA in saturated mode and
135 mA in linear mode at a device
voltage of 3.3 V with power added
efficiency of 46% in saturated
mode.
The MGA-545P8 is housed in the
2X2 mm-8L LPCC package. This
package offers good thermal
dissipation and very good high
frequency characteristics making
it appropriate for medium power
applications through 7 GHz.

Applications
The MGA-545P8 is ideal for use as
driver amplifier or power amplifier in:
• 3-4 GHz fixed wireless access (WLL)
• 5-6 GHz fixed wireless access
(HiperLAN/UNII)
• 5-6 GHz WLAN 802.11a NIC and AP
• Other applications in the 1-7 GHz
frequency range
Notes:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs a
single positive V
gs
, eliminating the need of
negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
2. Refer to reliability datasheet for detailed
MTTF data.
3. Conform to JEDEC reference outline
MO229 for DRP-N.
