AMMC-5023

23 GHz Low Noise Amplifier (21.2 – 26.5 GHz)

Data Sheet

Description

Avago’s AMMC-5023 is a high gain, low noise amplifier

that operates from 21 GHz to over 30 GHz. By eliminating

the complex tuning and assembly processes typically

required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers, the AMMC-

5023 is a cost-effective alternative in both 21.2–23.6 GHz

and 24.5–26.5 GHz communications receivers. The device

has good input and output match to 50 Ohm and is un-

conditionally stable to more than 40 GHz. The backside

of the chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps simplify

the assembly process and reduces assembly related per-

formance variations and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT

process to provide exceptional noise and gain perfor-

mance. For improved reliability and moisture protection,

the die is passivated at the active areas.

Features
