PA Pushes 14 W From 2.7 To 3.8 GHz

Jan. 21, 2010

Model XP5002-BD is a GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier from Mimix Asia with on-chip bias circuitry designed to deliver 14 W output power from 2.7 to 3.8 GHz. It yields 32-dB large-signal gain and +41.5-dBm saturated output power with 40-percent power-added efficiency. It is well suited for radar, satellite, and commercial applications.

According to Paul Beasly, Business Development Manager, Mimix Asia, "The XP5002-BD provides a fully matched, high gain power amplifier solution. The integrated bias circuitry, internal matching and superior gain performance provide an exceptionally compact solution for S-band high-power applications."
