17 GHz to 27 GHz, Variable Gain Amplifier

The ADH997S is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT analog variable gain amplifier and/or driver amplifier which operates between 17 GHz and 27 GHz. Ideal for microwave radio applications, the amplifier provides up to 20.5 dB of gain, output P1dB of up to +24 dBm, and up to +31 dBm of output IP3 at maximum gain, while requiring only 170 mA from a +5V supply. A gain control voltage (Vctrl) is provided to allow variable gain control up to 15 dB. Gain flatness is excellent, making the ADH997S ideal for a wide variety of applications.
