M/A-COM Introduces NEW Power Amplifier Family Designed For Point-to-Point Radios

M/A-COM, a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a leading provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave components, today introduced a new line of power amplifiers for point-to-point radios. These amplifiers cover allocated point-to-point bands from 2.5 to 19.7 GHz.

This family of M/A-COM amplifiers produces power levels ranging from one to two watts over various frequency bands and feature excellent linearity with high gain.

These amplifiers meet the typical requirements for point-to-point radios with third order intercept points from 38 to 44 dBm. The have gain up to 34 dB, with flatness of less then ±1 dB across individual point-to-point radio bands. Each amplifier's drain supply can be set within the 6 to 10 volts to optimize system performance including linearity, gain and power efficiency.

All die are fabricated using M/A-COM's MSAG (Multi-function Self-Aligned Gate) process, which features a rugged polyimide coating and no air bridges. This coating produces a rugged chip for high assembly yields.
