Amplifier Stays Flat From 0.01 To 6.00 GHz

Dec. 21, 2012
A broadband hermetically-packaged MMIC amplifier features flat gain from 0.01 To 6.00 GHz.

Model CMA-62+ is a RoHS-compliant wideband amplifier with extremely flat gain from 0.01 to 6.00 GHz. The small-signal gain, which is typically 15.4 dB at 2 GHz, remains within ±0.7 dB from 50 to 4000 MHz. The amplifier delivers +19 dBm typical output power at 1-dB compression at 2 GHz. It offers a wide dynamic range, with a third-order intercept point of typically +39 dBm at 50 MHz and +33 dBm at 2 GHz. Based on GaAs heterojunction-bipolar-transistor (HBT) technology, the monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (MMIC) amplifier is bonded to a low-temperature-cofired-ceramic (LTCC) substrate and housed in a hermetic package measuring just 3.00 x 3.00 x 1.14 mm. The amplifier draws 72 mA from a +4.8-VDC supply.
