Description
Agilent’s AMMP-6420 is a high gain amplifier in a surface
mount package that operates from 6 to 18 GHz. It is a cost-
effective alternative in commercial communications systems
to discrete FET hybrid or MIC amplifiers. The MMIC has a
partial input and output match to 50
loss) but can be easily externally matched by single element
lossy or reactive means (inductor or capacitor) for 20%
frequency coverage (or 100% coverage if used in a balance
configuration
unconditionally stable over all frequencies and bias
conditions. Bias can be applied from either side. Gate voltage
is set using the Vg pin to optimize for linear or saturated
power amplification. A reference and output detector allows
differential output power detection over 15 dB of range. It is
fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide exceptional power
and gain performance.
