VWA5000025AA

Abstract – The VWA 5000025 AA is a distributed amplifier designed on a 0.15μm pHEMT process. The device is capable of more than +16dBm of output power at saturation regime, up to 40GHz. It provides more than +14dBm of output power at 1 dB of gain compression, up to 40GHz.The linear gain is of 11dB from DC to 40GHz, with an excellent group delay. The design has been optimized to provide high efficiency. The supply current is as low as 100mA when operating with VD= +8V. This device needs an RF Output external bias-tee to bias the drain and an RF input external DCBlock.
