AA026P2-00

  Alpha's three-stage balanced K band GaAs MMIC powe amplifier AA026P2-00 has a typical P of 24 dBm and a typical P _{1 dB} SAT of 26 dBm at 26.5 GHz. The chip uses Alpha's proven 0.25 m MESFET technology, and is based upon MBE layers and electron beam lithography for the highest uniformity and repeatability.The FETs employ surface passivation to ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate a conductive epoxy die attach process.All chips are screened for small signal S-parameters and power characteristics prior to shipment for guaranteed performance. A broad range of applications exist in both the commercial and military areas where high power and gain are required.
