GaN power amp delivers 16 W for mMIMO

Mitsubishi will be sampling its MGFS52G38MB GaN power amplifier module (PAM) capable of supplying 16 W of average output power starting this month. The device can be used in 32T32R antenna configurations to reduce the manufacturing cost and power consumption of 5G massive MIMO (mMIMO) base stations.

In September 2023, Mitsubishi introduced a GaN PAM offering 8 W (39 dBm) of average output power across a frequency range of 3.4 GHz to 3.8 GHz, suitable for 64T64R mMIMO antennas. The new GaN PAM increases average output power to 16 W (42 dBm) over a frequency range of 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz, targeting 32T32R mMIMO antennas. This advancement extends the coverage of 5G mMIMO base stations, while minimizing the number of required PAMs.

Key specifications for the GaN power amplifier module include:

Mitsubishi will exhibit the 16-W GaN PAM at this month’s IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium. A datasheet was not available at the time of this announcement.
