PHA-102+

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PHA-102+ is a general-purpose RF MMIC amplifier from Mini-Circuits, operating within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 6 GHz. It delivers a typical gain of 14.6 dB with a noise figure of 6.7 dB. The device requires a 9 V supply and draws 192 mA of current. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 26.1 dBm and an OIP3 of 44.8 dBm. It features an input return loss of 14 dB and dissipates up to 3.18 W of power. The component is housed in a compact SOT-89-3 surface-mount package and operates reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Operates across a wide bandwidth from 50 MHz to 6 GHz using silicon technology.
• Designed for easy integration with a standard 9 V supply and SOT-89-3 surface-mount packaging.

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Radar systems
• LTE infrastructure
• WiMax networks
• WiFi access points
• WLAN devices

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+) indicates RoHS compliance when ordering. Confirm the package type matches the SOT-89-3 footprint requirements for your PCB layout. Ensure the supply voltage aligns with the 9 V specification to maintain optimal gain and linearity. Check datasheet thermal dissipation limits against your enclosure design to prevent overheating during continuous operation.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this model when high linearity is critical for maintaining signal fidelity in broadband applications. The 14.6 dB gain suits intermediate amplification stages rather than final output stages. Consider the 6.7 dB noise figure for receiver front-end sensitivity requirements. The wide 50 MHz to 6 GHz range offers flexibility for multi-standard designs without needing multiple part numbers.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The PHA-102+ belongs to the PHA series of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) by Mini-Circuits. This series focuses on general-purpose amplification with robust performance across wireless communication bands. It complements passive components like filters and dividers in complete RF signal chain solutions for industrial and commercial projects.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

PHA-102 is the non-RoHS version of this component. Direct substitution requires verifying environmental compliance standards. No other direct electrical equivalents are documented in official sources; alternative selection depends on specific gain or package constraints.
