Single Amplifier from 100 kHz to 50 GHz for Sub-6GHz and mm-Wave 5G Applications

MACOM has released a new wideband distributed amplifier for use in 5G test and measurement (T&M) equipment. The MAAM-011238 amplifier is available both as a bare-DIE and Surface Mount package and operates from 100 kHz up to 50 GHz (67.5 GHz for the Bare-DIE version) giving system designers the ability to use a single amplifier for 5G applications spanning sub-6 GHz to mmW frequencies.

The MAAM-011238 amplifier supports wideband operation from 100 kHz up to 50 GHz (67.5 GHz for the Bare-DIE version) with a typical gain of 14 dB at 30 GHz. The input and output are fully matched at 50 Ω with a typical return loss of 10 dB across the band. The overall ease of use for customers is enhanced by utilizing a positive gate bias, thereby eliminating the need for a negative voltage supply and bias sequencer. The MAAM-011238’s integrated power detector further simplifies system designs while preserving valuable board space.

The MAAM-011238 aims to deliver an effective broadband amplifier solution for 5G sub-6 GHz to mmW testing. The MAAM-011238 and MAAM-011238-DIE are available to customers.
