The MAAV-011014-DIE from Macom is a Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) that operates from 80 to 100 GHz. This device is designed and manufactured utilizing MACOM’s AlGaAs PIN diode technology which is ideally suited for high frequency, high linearity, and high power applications. It provides attenuation of over 25 dB that can be controlled via voltage ranging from -5 to +1.4 V. The device can handle a P1dB of 25 dBm and has an insertion loss of less than 3 dB. This VVA is available as a die that measures 1.33 x 0.93 x 0.10 mm and is ideal for MMW radios, automotive radar, radiometry, passive imaging, Satcom, and MMW test equipment applications.
