7 to 20 GHz GaAs MMIC LNA/IRM Receiver - Avago Technologies - #1

7 to 20 GHz GaAs MMIC LNA/IRM Receiver in SMT Package

Avago's AMMP-6522 is an easy-to-use broadband inte­grated receiver in a surface mount package. The MMIC includes a 3-stage LNA to provide gain amplification and a gate-pumped image-reject mixer for frequency translation. The overall receiver performs Single Side Band down-conversion in the 7 to 20 GHz RF signal range. The LO and RF are matched to 50 Q. The IF out­put is provided in 2-port format where an external 90-degree hybrid can be utilized for full image rejection. The LNA requires a 4 V, 75 mA power supply, where the mixer bias is a simple -1V, 0.1 mA. The MMIC is fabricated using PHEMT technology. The surface mount package allows elimination of "chip & wire" assembly for lower cost. This MMIC is a cost effective alternative to multi­chip solution that have higher loss and complex assem­bly.
