Custom MMIC launches BroadRange distributed amplifier family
Monolithic microwave integrated circuit developer Custom MMIC of Westford, MA, USA has developed the BroadRange Distributed Amplifier family, with bandwidths from DC to 50GHz.
The product line consists of over ten released products, together with five more to being unveiled in booth #1950 at IEEE's International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2016) in San Francisco (22-27 May).
The amplifiers are provided in low-profile die or QFN packaged and offer single positive supply operation, positive gain slope over frequency, and 50 Ohm matching for ease of design, smaller and lower-power systems.
The amplifiers have low bias voltage requirements down to 3V and bias currents as low as 32mA. With DC to 50GHz bandwidth, OIP3 (output third-order intercept point) of 22-32dBm, P1dB (output power at 1dB gain compression) of 12-29dBm, and Psat (saturated output power) of 12-29dBm, the BroadRange Distributed Amplifier family is suitable for electronic warfare (EW), wideband communication, and instrumentation applications.
