AA022N1-65
Description
The AA022N1-65 is a broadband millimeterwave amplifier
in a hermetic package. The amplifier is designed for use
in millimeterwave communication and sensor systems as
the receiver front-end, transmitter gain stage, or local
oscillator gain stage when high gain, wide dynamic range,
and low noise figure are required. The solder-sealed
hermetic package provides excellent electrical
performance, excellent thermal performance, and
complete environmental protection for long-term reliability.
A single supply voltage simplifies bias requirements. All
amplifiers are screened at the operating frequencies prior
to shipment for guaranteed performance. The amplifier is
targeted for millimeterwave point-to-point and point-tomultipoint wireless communications systems.
