The APH667 from Northrop Grumman is a GaAs MMIC Power Amplifier that operates from 81 to 86 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 25.5 dBm with a linear gain of 14 dB. The amplifier requires a DC supply of 4 V and consumes 630 mA of current.
The APH667 is available as a die that measures 3790 x 2920 µm with Ti/Au bond pads and backside metallization. It is fully passivated and can operate in rugged environments while providing reliable performance. The amplifier is compatible with conventional die attach, thermocompression, and thermosonic wire bonding assembly techniques. It is ideal for FCC E-band communications (81-86 GHz band), short haul / high capacity links, enterprise wireless LAN, and wireless fiber replacement applications.
