Description
M/A-COM’s AM42-0040 is a three-stage MMIC power
amplifier in a ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The
AM42-0040 employs an internally matched monolithic chip
with internally decoupled Gate and Drain bias networks. The
AM42-0040 is designed to be operated from a constant current
Drain supply. By varying the Gate bias voltage, the saturated
output power performance of this device can be tailored for
various applications.
The AM42-0040 is designed
for use as an output stage or
driver amplifier for C-band VSAT transmitter systems. This
amplifier employs a fully monolithic chip and requires a
minimum of external components.
M/A-COM’s AM42-0040 is fabricated using a mature 0.5
micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full chip
passivation for increased performance and reliability. These
amplifiers are 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to
performance specifications.
