CMD274 2-20 GHz Low Phase Noise Amplifier Features Functional Block Diagram Vdd Ultra wideband performance Low phase noise Low current consumption Small die size RFOUT Description RFIN The CMD274 is a wideband GaAs MMIC low phase noise amplifier die that is ideally suited Vgg for military, space and communications systems. At 10 GHz the device delivers 17 dB of gain, a saturated output power of +22 dBm and a noise figure of 3.2 dB. Also with an input signal of 10 GHz the amplifier provides low phase noise performance of -165 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. The CMD274 is a 50 ohm matched design which eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. o Electrical Performance V = 5.0 V, V = 3.0 V, T = 25 C, F = 10 GHz dd gg A Parameter Min Typ Max Units Frequency Range 2 20 GHz Gain 17 dB Input Return Loss 12 dB Output Return Loss 13 dB Noise Figure 3.2 dB Output P1dB 19 dBm Saturated Output Power 22 dBm Phase Noise 10 kHz Offset -165 dBc/Hz Supply Current 86 mA ver 1.0 0918 Custom MMIC 300 Apollo Drive Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone (978) 467-4290 Fax (978) 467-4294 Visit us online at www.custommmic.com CMD274 2-20 GHz Low Phase Noise Amplifier Specifications Absolute Maximum Ratings Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Rating Parameter Min Typ Max Units Drain Voltage, Vdd 7.5 V Vdd 4.0 5.0 7.0 V Idd 86 mA Gate Voltage, Vgg 3.5 V Vgg 2.0 3.0 3.3 V RF Input Power +10 dBm Channel Temperature, Tch 150 C Igg 5 mA Power Dissipation, Pdiss 495 mW Electrical performance is measured at specific test conditions.
