Wide Band GaAs MMIC Amplifier 2-8 GHz Features ● ● ● ● ● ● MAAM28000-A1 V 2.00 CR-3 High Gain: 17 dB Gain Flatness: ±0.5 dB Single Supply: +10 V No External Components Required DC Decoupled RF Input and Output Small, Low Cost 8-Lead Ceramic Package Description M/A-COM’s MAAM28000-A1 is a wide band, MMIC amplifier housed in a small 8-lead ceramic package. It includes two distributed gain stages to obtain flat gain and a good, 50-ohm, input and output impedance match over a very wide bandwidth. The MAAM28000-A1 operates from a single +10 V supply. It is fully monolithic, requires no external components, and is provided in a low-cost, user-friendly, microwave package. The MAAM28000-A1 performs well as a generic IF, driver or buffer amplifier where high gain, excellent linearity and low power consumption are important. Because of its wide bandwidth, the MAAM28000-A1 can be used in numerous commercial and government system applications, such as satellite communications, RLL, EW and radar.
