ENGDA00161

Wideband Distributed Amplifier, DIE, 1 - 20 GHz

The ENGDA00161 is a wideband, linear GaAs MMIC distributed amplifier die which operates from 1 to 20 GHz. The design is 50 ohm matched and does not require external bias coil inductors. The amplifier delivers 10 dB gain with >1 dB positive gain slope across the band over a wide drain voltage range (3 V to 9 V). Noise figure is <3.0 dB across 5 – 18 GHz for bias voltages between 4 and 8 V. The amplifier has gold backside metallization and is designed to be silver epoxy attached. The RF interconnects are designed to account for wire bonds and external microstrip flares for optimal integrated return loss. No additional ground interconnects are required.
