The WSGPA01 from MACOM is a Discrete General-Purpose Amplifier (GPA) that operates from DC to 5 GHz. It provides a small signal gain of 16.3 dB with a drain efficiency better than 18.2% and P3dB of 10 W. The amplifier requires a 48 V supply voltage and draws 25 mA of current. It is based on a GaN on SiC High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) technology. It is available in a Pb-free and RoHS-compliant plastic PG-DFN package that measures 3 x 4 mm. The amplifier is designed for use in communication infrastructure applications with crest factor reduced and digitally pre-distorted LTE or 5G NR signals and is suitable for other applications at frequencies up to 5 GHz, restricted only by its maximum operating conditions.
