13.50-14.50 GHz 2.5-Watt Power Amplifier August 2007 - Rev 16-Aug-07 CMM1434-SM Features 34.5 dBm (Typ.) Saturated Output Power 31.0 dB (Typ.) Linear Gain Fully Matched Uncondtionally Stable Low-Cost, Surface Mount Package Optimum Thermal Dissipation General Description The CMM1434-SM is a four-stage pHEMT GaAs MMIC power amplifier that is ideally suited for transmit subsystems designed for Ku-Band VSAT applications. The CMM1434-SM provides 31.0 dB linear gain and delivers 2.5 watts of output power at saturation operating from 13.5 to 14.5 GHz frequency. Applications The unconditional stability and internal matching provides for reduction of external components making this product a simple and low-cost solution. The low-cost 6mm x 6mm x 1.6mm surface mount package offers the same excellent RF and thermal properties as a typical flange package.
