MGVA-82+

RF Amplifiers Overview

The MGVA-82+ is a dual matched monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates from DC to 5200 MHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. Fabricated using InGaP HBT technology, it provides high dynamic range and linear performance. The device features a typical gain of 14.1 dB and is housed in a compact SMT QFN package (Case Style JV2579). This wideband amplifier is designed for applications requiring stable signal amplification across a broad frequency spectrum.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Dual matched configuration for balanced signal processing
• High dynamic range over a broad frequency bandwidth
• Linear operation utilizing InGaP HBT technology

RF Amplifiers Applications

• CATV systems
• SATCOM applications
• Wireless communication infrastructure

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Confirm that the 16-MCLP package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint design. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise electrical characteristics at operating temperatures. Ensure supply chain sources are authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel solution is required within a single package to save board space. Consider the InGaP HBT process for its balance of linearity and power handling. Evaluate the 50 Ohm input and output matching against system interface requirements. Assess the DC to 5200 MHz coverage against the specific application bandwidth needs.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the GVA series of RF amplifiers from Mini-Circuits. It represents an evolution of the standard GVA-82, offering a dual-matched variant suitable for differential or balanced circuit topologies. The series is known for providing medium power linear amplification in a small form factor.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The GVA-82 serves as the single-ended counterpart. Verify if the dual-matched architecture is strictly necessary or if two discrete GVA-82 units can achieve the desired performance.
