This amplifier module is an ideal building block for broadband(2-18 GHz), medium-
power (+21 dBm) microwave assemblies and amplifiers. The miniature drop-in
design with low VSWR charateristics makes it convenient to integrate mechanically
and easy to cascade electrically. This module requires only a single DC voltage.

Construction
The 15 mil alumina substrates and 10 mil copper FET ridge are brazed onto the 25
mil carrier using AuGe preform. The GaAs FETs are attached to the Cu ridge using
AuSn preform. All capacitors are attached using AuSn preforms. The flanges are
designed to accommodate 0-80 UNF-2A socket or Fillister head screws on 0.400”
center-to-center hole spacing. The modules are mechanically and electrically
designed to be cascaded.
Notes
1. Custom module specifications and/or custom module mechanical configurations are available.
2. Operating Temperature Range is -55 degrees Celsius to +105 degrees Celsius.
3. All modules are serialized and shipped with data measured at 25 degrees Celsius. Data
includes swept small signal gain, swept input and output return loss. P1dB are measured in 1
GHz increments. Special module testing is available.
4. Test Fixtures are available.
5. MicroWave Technology reserves the right to ship modules with performance above the typical
specifications.
