Description
The AA038N1-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave low
noise amplifier in a rugged surface mount package which
is compatible with high-volume solder installation. The
amplifier is designed for use in millimeterwave
communication and sensor systems as the receiver front-
end or as a gain stage when high gain and low noise figure
are required. The robust ceramic surface mount package
provides excellent electrical 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 high-volume millimeterwave applications such
as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless
communications systems.
