Wideband Amplifier

The MAAM-011109 is an easy-to-use, wideband amplifier that operates from 10 MHz - 40 GHz. The device features 13 dB gain and +18 dBm of output power. Matching is 50 ? with typical return loss better than 15 dB. This amplifier requires dual DC supplies: 5 V (190 mA) and a low current –5 V (<1 mA). The MAAM-011109 integrates an ultra-broadband bias choke, DC blocking and bypass capacitors. Other features include a gate bias adjust pin to change current setting for power or temperature, a gain trim control pin that allows 15 dB of gain control (0 to -1V), and a temperature compensated detector pin that provides a DC voltage in relation to output power. The MAAM-011109 is ideally suited for any application that requires 50 O gain from 10 MHz to 40 GHz. It is useful in applications where the incoming signal varies over a broad bandwidth such as laboratory, instrumentation, and defense applications. This device is housed in a leadless 5 X 5 X 1.3 mm package that can be handled and placed with standard pick and place assembly equipment. The package base is a two layer laminate with overmold fully compatible with PCB environment and wash conditions. The module includes a GaAs MMIC that is fully passivated for performance and reliability.
