MMIC Amplifier
Mini-Circuits’ model LVA-273PN+ is a wideband GaAs HBT MMIC amplifier with > 17 dB gain from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. With low additive phase noise of typically 172 dBc/Hz offset 10 kHz from the carrier, it delivers typical output power at 1 dB compression of +18.3 dBm at 10 GHz and +16.1 dBm at 20 GHz. The 50 Ω amplifier draws 85 mA at +5 VDC and is supplied in a 4 × 4 mm 24-lead QFN-style package.
