Buffer Amplifier operating from 10-45 GHz and can be used in wide band application or to drive the high power amplifier

Overview

RFBA02C Buffer Amplifier operates from 10-45 GHz and can be used in wide band application or to drive the high power amplifier. The amplifier provides 13.2 dB small signal gain and 10 dBm of Output P1dB. The input and output are matched to 50 ohms with on-chip DC blocking capacitors. The device is specifically designed to use in point-to-point radios for cellular backhaul Application, 5G RF Transceiver & SATCOM. The technology used to design DA is 0.1um GaAs pHEMT Process. Results are shown in datasheet with all parasitics & coupling effects at desired frequency.
