Description

The MAAP-011246 is a 2 Watt, 4-stage power

amplifier assembled in a lead-free 5 mm 32-lead

AQFN plastic package. This power amplifier

operates from 27.5 to 31.5 GHz and provides 23 dB

of linear gain, 2 W saturated output power and 24%

efficiency while biased at 6 V.

The MAAP-011246 can be used as a power

amplifier stage or as a driver stage in higher power

applications. This device is ideally suited for VSAT

and 28 GHz PTP applications.

This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT

process which features full passivation for enhanced

reliability.
