Product Overview
PHA-1+ (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 PHA-1+, unlike competitive models, 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.

Advantages
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX
The PHA-1+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and pow-
er consumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT Structure provides en-
hanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 20
dB above the P 1dB point. 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
Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits PHA-1+ provides Input and Output Return Loss of
14-21 dB up to 4 GHz without the need for any external matching components
Low Noise Figure: 2.3dB typ. up to 4 GHz
3.5dB typ. up to 6 GHz
A unique feature of the PHA-1+ which separates this design from all competitors is the
low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.
