AMMC-5023
23 GHz Low Noise Amplier (21.2– 26.5 GHz)
Data Sheet
Description
Avago’s AMMC-5023 is a high gain, low noise amplier
that operates from 21 GHz to over 30 GHz. By eliminating
the complex tuning and assembly processes typically
required by hybrid (discrete-FET) ampliers, the AMMC-
5023 is a cost-eective alternative in both 21.2–23.6 GHz
and 24.5–26.5 GHz communications receivers. The device
has good input and output match to 50 Ohm and is un-
conditionally stable to more than 40 GHz. The backside
of the chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps simplify
the assembly process and reduces assembly related per-
formance variations and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT
process to provide exceptional noise and gain perfor-
mance.
For improved reliability and moisture protection,
the die is passivated at the active areas.
