The AMMP-6430 MMIC is a broadband 1W power
amplifer in a surface mount package designed for use
in transmitters that operate in various frequency bands
between 27GHz and 34GHz. At 30GHz, it provides 29dBm
of output power (P-1dB) and 19dB of small-signal gain
from a small easy-to-use device. The device has input
and output matching circuitry for use in 50Ω environ-
ments. The AMMP-6430 also integrates a temperature
compensated RF power detection circuit that enables
power detection of 0.3V/W. DC bias is simple and the
device operates on widely available 5V for current supply
(negative voltage only needed for Vg). It is fabricated in
a PHEMT process for exceptional power and gain perfor-
mance.
