Wideband, Microwave Monolithic Ampliefi r AVA-183A+ 50 5 to 18 GHz The Big Deal Surface Mount Ampliefi r up to 18 GHz CASE STYLE: DQ849 Integrated matching, DC Blocks and bias circuits Superior Value Suitable for low phase noise applications Product Overview The AVA-183A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier fabricated using InGaAs PHEMT technology and is a fully integrated gain block up to 18 GHz. It is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP package, which provides excellent RF and thermal performance. The AVA-183A+ integrates the entire matching network with the majority of the bias circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated external circuits. This approach makes the AVA-183A+ extremely flexible and enables simple, straightforward use. Key Features Feature Advantages Broad frequency range supports a wide array of applications from microwave radio and radar , to Wideband, 5 GHz to 18 GHz military communications and countermeasures. Typical 1.2 dB gain flatness across the entire frequency range minimizes the need for external Excellent Gain Flatness equalizer networks making it a great fit for instrumentation and EW applications. With reverse isolation of 31-42 dB (17-23 dB directivity), the AVA-183A+ is an excellent choice for High Isolation buffering broadband circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flex - ibility and margin when integrating cascaded RF components. No hassle associated with amplifiers using dual supply such as power supply sequencing. Single +5V Supply Integrated output bias-tee, simplifies layout & reduces cost. Manufacturability MSL1 and ESD Class1A (HBM) ratings minimize special handling on production lines. Low additive phase noise, typically -151 dBc/Hz 10 Ideal for low phase noise synthesizer applications KHz offset Notes A.
