1 General description

The A5M20TG042 is a Doherty power amplifier module designed for wireless infrastructure applications that

demand high performance in the smallest footprint. Ideal for applications in massive MIMO systems, outdoor small

cells and low power remote radio heads. The field-proven LDMOS and GaN integrated power amplifiers are

designed for TDD and FDD 32T mMIMO systems.

2 Features and benefits

• 3-stage module solution that includes a 2-stage LDMOS integrated circuit as a driver and a GaN final stage

amplifier

• Advanced high performance in-package Doherty

• Fully matched (50 ohm input/output, DC blocked)

• Reduced memory effects for improved linearized error vector magnitude

• Simultaneous dual band operation (B3–B1/B66)
