Wideband, Microwave Monolithic Ampliefi r AVA-24A+ 50 5 to 20 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: DQ849 Surface Mount Ampliefi r up to 20 GHz Integrated matching, DC Blocks and bias circuits High Reverse Isolation Product Overview The Mini-Circuits AVA-24A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier fabricated using InGaAs PHEMT technology and is fully integrated gain block up to 20 GHz. It is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP (QFN) package, which provides excellent RF and thermal performance. The AVA-24A+ 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-24A+ 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 20 GHz military communications and countermeasures. Typical 0.8 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 36 dB (24 dB directivity), the AVA-24A+ is an excellent choice for buffer- High Isolation ing broadband circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flexibility and margin when integrating cascaded RF components. Manufacturability MSL1 and ESD Class1A (HBM) ratings minimize special handling on production lines. Notes A.
