12.0-16.0 GHz GaAs MMIC Power Amplifier P1042-BD May 2008 - Rev 05-May-08 Features 21 dB Small Signal Gain 25 dBm P1dB Compression Point 38 dBm Output IP3 Linearity 17 dB Gain Control with Bias Adjust 100% RF Testing General Description Absolute Maximum Ratings1 The XP1042-BD is a linear driver amplifier that operates over the 12.0-16.0 GHz frequency band. The device provides 21 dB gain and 38 dBm Output Third Order Intercept Point (OIP3) across the band. The driver amplifier includes on-chip ESD protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation and volume assembly of the part. The device is manufactured in a high linearity GaAs PHEMT device technology with BCB wafer coating to enhance ruggedness and repeatability of performance. The XP1042-BD is well suited for Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
