Avago Technologies AMMP-6130 is a high gain, narrow-
band doubler and output power amplifer designed for
DBS applications and other commercial communication
systems. The MMIC takes an input 15 GHz signal and
passes it through a harmonic frequency multiplier (x2)
and then three stages of power amplifcation. Integrated
matching structures flter and match input/output to
50 Ω. It has integrated input and output DC blocking
capacitors and bias structures to all stages. The MMIC is
fabricated using PHEMT technology. The backside of this
package part is both RF and DC ground. This helps sim-
ply the assembly process and reduces assembly related
performance variations and costs. The surface mount
package allows elimination of “chip & wire” assembly
for lower cost. This MMIC is a cost efective alternative
to hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifers that require complex
tuning and assembly process.
