Data Sheet
Features
• Lead-free Option Available
• Operating frequency: 0.4 GHz ~
6.0 GHz
typically draws 53 mA. This
alignment results in an Input
Intercept Point of 17.5 dBm.
Description
• Minimum noise figure: 1.61 dB at
1.9 GHz
Agilent Technologies’ MGA-52543
is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs
MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA),
which is designed for use in LNA
and driver stages. While a capable
RF/microwave amplifier for any
low noise and high linearity 0.4 to
6 GHz application, the LNA focus
is Cellular/PCS base stations.
• Associated gain : 15 dB at 1.9 GHz
The MGA-52543 is a GaAs MMIC,
fabricated using Agilent
• 1.9 GHz performance tuned for
VSWR < 2:1
Noise figure: 1.9 dB
Gain: 14 dB
P1dB: +17.5 dBm
Input IP3: +17.5 dBm
Technologies’ cost-effective,
reliable PHEMT (Pseudomorphic
High Electron Mobility Transistor)
process. It is housed in the SOT-343
(SC70 4-lead) package. This
package offers miniature size
(1.2 mm by 2.0 mm), thermal
dissipation, and RF characteristics.
To attain NFmin condition, some
simple external matching is re-
quired. The MGA-52543 features a
calculated NFmin of 1.61 dB and 15
dB associated gain at 1.9 GHz from
a cascode stage, feedback FET
amplifier. The input and output are
partially matched to be near 50 Ω.
• Single supply 5.0 V operation
Applications
• Cellular/PCS base station radio
card LNA
Surface Mount Package
SOT-343/4-lead SC70
• High dynamic range amplifier for
base stations, WLL, WLAN, and
other applications
For base station radio card unit
LNA application where better than
2:1 VSWR is required, a series
inductor on the input and another
series inductor on the output can
be added externally. The resulting
Noise Figure is typically 1.9 dB
with 14 dB Gain at 1.9 GHz. With a
single 5.0V supply, the LNA

RF Input
While the RF input terminal of the
MGA-52543 is at DC ground
potential, it should not be used as
a current sink. If the input is
connected directly to a preceding
stage that has a DC voltage
present, a blocking capacitor
should be used.
MGA-52543 Applications
Information
To achieve lowest noise figure
performance, the input of the
MGA-52543 should be matched
from the system impedance
(typically 50Ω) to the optimum
source impedance for minimum
noise, Γopt. Since the real part of
the input of the device impedance
is near 50Ω and the reactive part
is capacitive, a simple series
inductor at the input is often all
that is needed to provide a
suitable noise match for many
applications.
Description
The MGA-52543 is a low noise,
linear RFIC amplifier GaAs
PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High
Electron Mobility Transistor)
designed for receiver applications
in the 300 MHz to 6.0 GHz
frequency range. The device
combines low noise performance
with high linearity to make it a
desirable choice for receiver front
end stages as well as driver
applications.
Setting the Bias Voltage for Linearity
The MGA-52543 will operate from
approximately 2 volts with
reduced performance. The MGA-
52543 typically pulls 53 mA at 5V.
The higher voltage increases
amplifier linearity by boosting
output power (P1dB) typically from
14 dBm at 3V to 18 dBm at 5V. An
absolute maximum recommended
supply voltage for this device is
RF Output
The RF Output port is closely
matched to 50Ω, a simple series
inductor at the output will help to
improve the input match, gain and 5.5V. Optimum linearity perfor-
power response of the device.
The MGA-52543 operates from a
+5 volt power supply and draws a
nominal current of 55 mA. The
RFIC is contained in a miniature
SOT-343 (SC-70 4-lead) package to
minimize printed circuit board
space. This package also offers
excellent thermal dissipation and
RF characteristics. The device is
focused at cellular/PCS
mance is obtained at 5V supply.
Typical performance of gain, noise
figure and P1dB output power over
a wide range of bias voltage is
shown in Figure 2.
DC Bias
DC bias is applied to the MGA-
52543 through the RF Output
connection. Figure 1 shows how
an inductor (RFC) is used to
isolate the RF signal from the DC
supply. The bias line is capaci-
tively bypassed to keep RF from
the DC supply lines and prevent
resonant dips or peaks in the
response of the amplifier.

The high frequency response of
the MGA-52543 extends through

choice for use in 5 GHz RLL as
well as 2.4 and 5.7 GHz spread

band applications.

Application Guidelines
The MGA-52543 is very easy to
use. For most applications, all that
is required to operate the MGA-
52543 is to apply +5 volts to the
RF output pin, and match the RF
input and output.

A DC blocking capacitor (C1) is
used at the output of the MMIC to
isolate the supply voltage from

the PCB by means of plated
through holes (vias). The ground
vias should be placed as close to
the package terminals as practical.
At least one via should be located
next to each ground pin to assure
good RF grounding. It is a good
practice to use multiple vias to
further minimize ground path
inductance.

Circuit boards thicker than 0.031

to excessive inductance in the

To illustrate the simplicity of using
the MGA-52543, a 1.9 GHz ampli-
fier for PCS type receiver applica-
tions is presented.
Figure 3. Recommended PCB Pad Layout for
Agilent’s SC70 4L/SOT-343 Products.
This layout provides ample
allowance for package placement
by automated assembly equipment
without adding parasitics that
could impair the high frequency
RF performance of the MGA-
52543. The layout is shown with a
footprint of a SOT-343 package
superimposed on the PCB pads for
reference.
For low noise amplifier applica-
tions, the MGA-52543 is internally
matched for low noise figure. The
magnitude of Γopt at 1900 MHz is
typically 0.27, additional imped-
ance matching may improve noise
figure by 0.1 dB.
For noise figure critical or higher
frequency applications, the
additional cost of PTFE/glass
dielectric materials may be
warranted to minimize transmis-
sion line loss at the amplifier’s
input.
Without external matching the
typical input return loss for the
MGA-52543 is approximately 5 dB.
The input return loss may be
improved significantly with the
addition of a series inductor. At
1900 MHz for example, the
addition of a series inductor of
3.3 nH will improve the input
return loss to greater than 10 dB.
Starting with the package pad
layout in Figure 3, an RF layout
similar to the one shown in
Figure 4 is a good starting point
for microstripline designs using
the MGA-52543 amplifier.

at lower frequencies to exactly
match the input to Γopt. At lower
frequencies, the real part of Γopt
has started to move away from
50Ω (i.e., away from the R = 1
circle on the Smith chart) as the
angle of Γopt decreases. A small
shunt capacitor (typically 1.0 pF at
900 MHz to 1.8 pF at 400 MHz)
added between the input pin and
the adjacent ground pad to create
a shunt C-series L matching
network will realize an improve-
ment in noise figure of several
tenths of a dB. A lower value for
L1 may be needed depending on
the actual length of the input line
between pin 1 and L1 as well as
the value of the shunt C.

Hints and Troubleshooting
• Oscillation
Unconditional stability of the
MGA-52543 is dependent on
having very good grounding.
Inadequate device grounding or
poor PCB layout techniques could
cause the device to be potentially
unstable.
To assist designers in optimizing
not only the immediate amplifier

to also evaluate and optimize

to the mean. The standard devia-
tion is a measure of the variability
about the mean. It will be recalled
that a normal distribution is
Statistical Parameters
Several categories of parameters
appear within this data sheet.
Parameters may be described with
values that are either “minimum or
maximum,” “typical,” or “standard
deviations.”
Even though a design may be
unconditionally stable (K > 1 and
B1 > 0) over its full frequency
range, other possibilities exist that
may cause an amplifier circuit to
oscillate. One thing to check for, is
feedback in bias circuits. It is
important to capacitively bypass
the connections to active bias

and standard deviation.
The values for parameters are
based on comprehensive product

Standard statistics tables or
calculations provide the probabil-
ity of a parameter falling between
any two values, usually symmetri-
cally located about the mean.

circuit board material, conductor
thickness and pattern, type of
solder alloy, and the thermal
conductivity and thermal mass of
components. Components with a
low mass, such as the SOT-343
package, will reach solder reflow
temperatures faster than those
with a greater mass.
These parameters are typical for a
surface mount assembly process
for the MGA-52543. As a general
guideline, the circuit board and
components should be exposed
only to the minimum temperatures
and times necessary to achieve a
uniform reflow of solder.

Figure 16. This profile is represen-
tative of an IR reflow type of
surface mount assembly process.
After ramping up from room
temperature, the circuit board
with components attached to it
(held in place with solder paste)
passes through one or more
preheat zones. The preheat zones
increase the temperature of the
board and components to prevent
thermal shock and begin evaporat-
ing solvents from the solder paste.
The reflow zone briefly elevates
the temperature sufficiently to
produce a reflow of the solder.
The rates of change of tempera-
ture for the ramp-up and cool-
down zones are chosen to be low
enough to not cause deformation
of the board or damage to compo-
nents due to thermal shock. The
maximum temperature in the
reflow zone (TMAX) should not
exceed 235°C.

Although the MGA-52543 is robust
in design, permanent damage may
occur to these devices if they are
subjected to high energy electro-
static discharges. Electrostatic
charges as high as several thou-
sand volts (which readily accumu-
late on the human body and on
test equipment) can discharge
without detection and may result
in degradation in performance,
reliability, or failure.

Phase Reference Planes
The positions of the reference
planes used to specify S-param-
eters and Noise Parameters for the
MGA-52543 are shown in
Figure 15. As seen in the illustra-
tion, the reference planes are
located at the point where the
package leads contact the test
circuit.
Electronic devices may be sub-
jected to ESD damage in any of
the following areas:
• Storage & handling
• Inspection & testing
• Assembly
• In-circuit use
The MGA-52543 is an ESD Class 1
device. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended
when handling, inspecting, testing,
assembling, and using these
devices to avoid damage.
