Agilent MGA-6P8 dbm P sat High Isolation Buffer Amplifier Data Sheet Description The MGA-6P8 is designed for use in LO chains to drive high dynamic range passive mixers. It provides high isolation, high gain, and consistent output power. It is a GaAs MMIC, fabricated using Agilent Technologies cost effective, reliable enhancement mode PHEMT (Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor) [1] process. This device is housed in the LPCC 2x2 mm package. This package offers good thermal dissipation and RF characteristics. MGA-6P8 features a saturated power of dbm (with dbm input power) and reverse isolation in excess of db at 2 GHz. The saturated output power can be set between 9 dbm and dbm using an external resistor, with a corresponding adjustment in current consumption.
