VWA5000052AA

Abstract – The VWA 5000052 AA is a distributed amplifier designed on a 0.15μm pHEMT process. The device is capable of more than +21dBm of output power at saturation regime, up to 40GHz, and more than +17dBm of output power at 1 dB of gain compression, up to 34GHz. It provides more than 12dB of linear gain from DC to 44 GHz with a positive slope through 40GHz. This device can provide up to 11 dB gain up through 50GHz when operating with VD=+ 6V, with an excellent group delay. The Design has been optimized to provide high efficiency. The supply current is as low as 170mA when operating with VD=+6V.
