Analog Devices introduces wideband GaN MMIC amplifier
Analog Devices Inc of Norwood, MA, USA has introduced a wideband gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that it says offers best-in-class performance within a compact design. Covering the 300 MHz to 6 GHz spectrum, the HMC8205 is for system designers of applications such as wireless infrastructure, radar, public mobile radio, and general-purpose amplification test equipment that require pulse or continuous wave (CW) support.
HMC8205 combines DC feed/RF bias choke, DC blocking capacitors and driver stage on a single design, while delivering 35 Watts with up to 44 percent power added efficiency (PAE) across an instantaneous bandwidth. It also operates both pulse and continuous wave, unlike comparative designs, says the firm.
