6 - 20 GHz Amplier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies AMMC-5618 6-20 GHz MMIC is an
ecient two-stage amplier designed to be used as a
cascadable intermediate gain block for EW applications.
In communication systems, it can be used as a LO buer,
or as a transmit driver amplier. It is fabricated using a
PHEMT integrated circuit structure that provides excep-
tional eciency and at gain performance. During typi-
cal operation with a single 5-V supply, each gain stage is
biased for Class-A operation for optimal power output
with minimal distortion. The RF input and output have
matching circuitry for use in 50-W environments. The
backside of the chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps
simplify the assembly process and reduces assembly re-
lated performance variations and costs. For improved re-
liability and moisture protection, the die is passivated at
the active areas. The MMIC is a cost eective alternative
to hybrid (discrete FET) ampliers that require complex
tuning and assembly processes.
Applications
Driver/Buer in microwave communication systems
Cascadable gain stage for EW systems
Phased array radar and transmit ampliers
Note: These devices are ESD sensitive. The following precautions are strongly recommended:
Ensure that an ESD approved carrier is used when dice are transported from one destination to another.
Personal grounding is to be worn at all times when handling these devices.
