MonolithicWideband, Microwave Amplifier
50Ω 5 to 20 GHz
AVA-24A+
The Big Deal
• Surface Mount Amplifier up to 20 GHz • Integrated matching, DC Blocks and bias circuits • High Reverse Isolation
CASE STYLE: DQ849
Product Overview
The Mini-Circuits AVA-24A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier and fully integrated gain block up to 20 GHz. It is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP (QFN) package, which provides excellent RF and thermal performance. The AVA-24A+ integrates the entire matching network with the majority of the bias circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated external circuits. This approach makes the AVA-24A+ extremely flexible and enables simple, straightforward use.
Key Features
Feature
Wideband, 5 to 20 GHz
Advantages
Broad frequency range supports a wide array of applications from microwave radio and radar , to military communications and countermeasures.
Excellent Gain Flatness High Isolation
Typical ±0.8 dB gain flatness across the entire frequency range minimizes the need for external equalizer networks making it a great fit for instrumentation and EW applications.
With reverse isolation of 36 dB (24 dB directivity), the AVA-24A+ is an excellent choice for buffering broadband circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flexibility and margin when integrating cascaded RF components.
Manufacturability
MSL1 and ESD Class1A (HBM) ratings minimize special handling on production lines.
