Description

The AA028P2-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave driver
amplifier in a rugged surface mount package which is
compatible with high volume solder installation. The
amplifier is designed for use in millimeterwave
communication and sensor systems as a gain stage in the
receiver, transmitter, or LO chain when high gain and
linearity are required.The robust cer amic surf ace mount
package provides excellent electrical perf ormance and a
high degree of 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. Amplifier is targeted for high volume
millimeterwave applications such as point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint wireless communications systems.
