The CGHV1F006S from MACOM is an unmatched, GaN HEMT that operates from DC to 15 GHz. This HEMT can be used for L, S, C, X and Ku-band amplifier applications. It provides 8 watts of output power with 15 dB of gain at 9 GHz. The transistor operates on a 40-volt rail circuit and is available in a 3 x 4 mm, surface-mount, dual-flat-no-lead (DFN) package. Under reduced power conditions, the transistor can operate below 40 V to as low as 20-V VDD, maintaining high gain and efficiency.
