VM015D

The VWA5000015AB is a wide band distribu- ted amplifier designed on a 150nm pHEMT pro- cess that operates up to 31GHz, with flat group delay.
The device is capable of more than 19 dBm saturated output power, and provides more than 13dB of gain from DC to 27GHz with less than 1dB of flatness. It integrates an output power detector for monitoring function. A 24dB tap cou- pler delivers the image of the output level on a dedicated pad, and a peak detector is available on the die. Connecting the input of the peak de- tector to the tap coupler output will generate a DC signal for monitoring the output signal level in the RF spectrum. A reference diode is also avai- lable for temperature reference information of the detector function.
