Description

The AA022N1-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave low

noise amplifier in a rugged surface mount package which

is compatible with high-volume solder installation. The

amplifier is designed for use in millimeterwave

communication and sensor systems as the receiver front-

end or as a gain stage when high gain and low noise figure

are required. The robust ceramic surface mount package

provides excellent electrical performance and a high

degree of environmental protection for long-term reliability.

A single supply voltage simplifies bias requirements. All

amplifiers are screened at the operating frequencies prior

to shipment for guaranteed performance. Amplifier is

targeted for high-volume millimeterwave applications such

as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless

communications systems.
