Wideband, Microwave, Shutdown Monolithic Ampliefi r TSS-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 Shutdown feature, with excellent switching time performance Product Overview The TSS-183A+ is a surface mount, MMIC amplifier with shutdown feature 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 TSS-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 TSS-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 to 18 GHz military communications and countermeasures. Typical 0.9 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, the TSS-183A+ is an excellent choice for buffering broadband High Isolation circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flexibility and margin when integrating cascaded RF components. Allow users to turn on and off the amplifier with pulsed signals while keeping the power supply at Shutdown feature constant voltage. Small size 3x3 mm, 8-lead MCLP package Integrated DC Blocks & Notes Saver motherboard space and minimizes overall cost. Very user friendly. A.
