RFMD, represented by RF Parts Australia , have introduced SUF-8533, a monolithically matched high IP3 broadband pHEMT MMIC amplifier covering DC to 12GHz. This pHEMT FET based amplifier uses a self-bias Darlington topology that features a gain and temperature compensating active bias network which operates from a single 5V supply. The SUF-8533 amplifier offers cascadable performance in a compact 3mm x 3mm ceramic QFN package. The SUF-8533 amplifier is suitable for RF, LO and IF driver applications.
Following are the features of SUF-8533 amplifiers:
- Broadband performance
- Gain =15.4dB at 3GHz
- P1dB =16.7dBm at 3GHz
- Low-noise, efficient gain block
- 5V single supply operation
- Low gain variation against temperature
SUF-8533 amplifiers can be used in the following applications:
- Broadband applications
- Test measurement
- Military and space
- LO and IF mixer applications
- High IP3 RF driver applications
