AMMC-5040
Data Sheet
20 – 45 GHz GaAs Amplifier
Description
The AMMC-5040 is a high gain broadband amplifier
designed for both military applications and commercial
communication systems. This four-stage amplifier has
input and output matching circuitry for use in 50 ohm
environments. It is fabricated using PHEMT integrated
circuit structures that provide exceptional broadband
performance. The backside of this chip is both RF and DC
ground. This simplifies the assembly process and reduces
assembly related performance variations and costs. For
improved reliability and moisture protection, the die is
passivated at the active areas. This MMIC is a cost effective
alternative to hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers that require
complex tuning and assembly process.
