Mitsubishi Electric to ship InGaP HBT power amplifier for WiMAX terminals

TOKYO, JAPAN: Mitsubishi Electric Corp. announced the sale of a new InGaP HBT1 power amplifier, the MGFS38E2527, for use in WiMAX2 subscriber terminal equipment. The module, which measures just 4x4mm, produces high output power of 28.5 dBm3 with low distortion. Sample shipments will commence on January 25, 2010.

WiMAX is growing increasingly popular for high-speed wireless communications use due to its extra wide area coverage compared to that of existing high-speed wireless services.

To extend the communication range between WiMAX base stations and terminals, there is a growing need for compact power amplifiers for installation in WiMAX terminals such as PC cards and customer premises equipment. Such amplifiers are required to deliver high output with low distortion, while maintaining high radio signal quality.

In the past, Mitsubishi Electric has released a series of InGaP HBT power amplifiers — the small-size MGFS36Exxxx for WiMAX terminals used in mobile and fixed-line communications, and the MGFS39Exxxx, which features industry-leading output power combined with low distortion.

The company now adds the new MGFS38E2527 power amplifier to this lineup. Compared to existing models, this newest amplifier provides more power and less distortion in a smaller package.

Mitsubishi Electric plans to develop 2.3GHz- and 3.5GHz-band amplifiers offering an output of 28.5 dBm by the end of March 2010.
