Description

M/A-COM’s AM42-0041 is a four-stage MMIC linear power amplifier in a lead-free, ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The AM42-0041 employs a fully matched chip with internally decoupled Gate and Drain bias networks. The AM42-0041 is designed to be operated from a constant current Drain supply. By varying the Gate bias voltage, the saturated output power performance of this device can be tailored for various applications. The AM42-0041 is ideally suited for use as an output stage or driver, in applications for VSAT systems. This design is fully m onolithic and requires a minimum of external components. M/A-COM’s AM42-0041 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance specifications.
