SOT-89 PACKAGE
Product Overview
PHA-1H+ (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-1H+, 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. It has
repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal performance.
Key Features
Feature
Broad Band: 0.05 to 6.0 GHz
Extremely High IP3
Versus DC power Consumption
40.4 dBm typical at 2.4 GHz
Advantages
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX
The PHA-1H+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and
power consumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMT Structure provides
enhanced 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
No External Matching Components
Required
Unlike competing products, Mini-Circuits PHA-1H+ provides Input and Output Return Loss of
10-23 dB up to 4 GHz without the need for any external matching components
Low Noise Figure: 2.6dB typ. up to 4 GHz
3.4dB typ. up to 6 GHz
A unique feature of the PHA-1H+ which separates this design from all competitors is the
low noise figure performance in combination with the high dynamic range.
Low Juction Temperature
Tj=115°C at 85°C lead temperature and
135°C at 105°C lead temperature
Results in excellent reliability.
Notes:
a. Suitability for model replacement within a particular system must be determined by and is solely the responsibility of the customer based on, among other things, electrical
performance criteria, stimulus conditions, application, compatibility with other components and environmental conditions and stresses.
b. The WJ AH1 part number is used for identification and comparison purposes only.
Notes
A. Performance and quality attributes and conditions not expressly stated in this specification document are intended to be excluded and do not form a part of this specification document.

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for
the frequency of operation.

RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking
capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias
without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”, Fig. 2

Description
Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design”
to reduce ground path inductance for best performance.
