Description
The AA038N1-99 is a broadband millimeterwave amplifier
in a rugged package. The amplifier is designed for use in
millimeterwave communication and sensor systems as the
receiver front-end or transmitter gain stage when high
gain, wide dynamic range, and low noise figure are
required. The robust ceramic and metal package provides
excellent electrical performance, excellent thermal
performance, and a high degree of environmental
protection for long-term reliability. A single supply voltage
simplifies bias requirements. All amplifiers are screened
at the operating frequencies prior to shipment for
guaranteed performance. Amplifier is targeted for
millimeterwave point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
wireless communications systems.
