Description
The AA026P2-A4 is a broadband millimeterwave medium
power amplifier in a rugged surface mount package that
is compatible with high-volume solder installation. The
amplifier is designed for use in millimeterwave
communication and sensor systems as an output stage
or driver in the transmit chain or LO chain when high gain
and high linearity is required. The robust ceramic
surface mount package provides excellent electrical
performance and a high degree of environmental
protection for long-term reliability. All amplifiers are
screened at the operating frequencies prior to shipment
for guaranteed performance. Amplifier is targeted for highvolume millimeterwave applications such as point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint wireless communications systems.
