Description
M/A-COM’s AM55-0023 is a high performance, voltage controlled, variable gain amplifier. It has been designed for use in a broad range of applications including cellular base stations and mobile radio where AGC is required to increase system dynamic range.
The gain control operates best in the 900 MHz range and also has useable gain to 2.5 GHz. DC current is low at 160 mA at 3V bias and 200 mA at 5V bias. The package is a low cost MLF.
The AM55-0023 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s 0.5 micron low noise GaAs MESFET process. The process features full passivation for performance and reliability.
