General Description

The CMM1631-SM is a four stage pHEMT GaAs MMIC power

amplifier packaged in a 6x6 mm surface mount package. The

CMM1631-SM provides 26 dB of linear gain and delivers 1.5 watts

of output power at saturation operating between 16 to 18 GHz.

The unconditional stability and internal matching provides for a

reduction in external components making this product a simple

and low cost solution. The true surface mount package makes it

an ideal solution in all manufacturing environments. The power

amplifier is intended for use in the extended Ku-Band satellite

applications.
