Product Overview
The HXG-242+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced amplifier module combining high dynamic range MMIC
technology and optimization circuits to provide industry leading linearity over a focused frequency range. It
is packaged in a Mini-Circuits System in Package (MSiP) module (6.4mm x 7.0mm x 2.4mm) using a sealed
ceramic cover and having gold over Ni for excellent solderability.
Key Features
Feature
Optimized Frequency Range
Advantages
Covering primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE
Extremely High IP3 vs. Current
46.6 dBm typ at 1500 MHz versus DC
Power Consumption of 146mA
The HXG-242+ offers industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and power
consumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT provides enhanced linearity
as evidence in the IP3. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in:
• Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths
• Drivers in linearized transmit systems
• Secondary amplifiers in ultra High Dynamic range receivers
No External Matching Components
Required
Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits HXG-242+ provides Input and Output Return Loss
of 10 dB up to 1.5 GHz without the need for any external matching components
Low Noise Figure: 2.4dB typ.
A unique feature of the HXG-242+ which separates this design from all competitors is the
low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.
