The ARF1111Q4 from Altum RF is a Power Amplifier that operates from 13.0 to 17.5 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 0.6 W (~28 dBm) with a gain of 22 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 40%. This amplifier is pre-matched to 50 ohms and all the RF ports are internally DC-blocked. It is also electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected to simplify handling and assembly operations. The ARF1111Q4 is built with the latest manufacturing techniques to optimize for reliability and quality control. It requires a dual DC supply of -0.95 V/8 V and consumes 85 mA of current. This RoHS-compliant amplifier is available in a surface-mount package that measures 4 x 4 mm and is ideal for test and measurement, telecommunications, and radar applications.
