New GaN-HEMT for 2.6GHz 4G BTS (MGFS53G27ET1)

High-speed 4G mobile communication systems including Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced incorporate are being equipped with progressively smaller BTS for macro-cells to increase data capacity and to reduce power consumption. Mitsubishi Electric's highly efficient new GaN-HEMT for 2.6GHz-band macro-cell BTS is expected to help realize even smaller and lower-power BTS.

Product Features
1) World-leading efficiency and transistor optimization
-High drain efficiency** of 74%
-High efficiency results in simpler cooling system, which reduces BTS size and power consumption
2) Size reduction
-Flangeless ceramic package reduces size of device itself and related power amplifier modules
3) Expanded GaN-HEMT lineup
-Added flangeless ceramic package for 220W models for 2.6GHz-band macro-cell BTS
** Load pull measurement
