24.5-26.5GHz High Power Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA5295 is a high gain three-stage
monolithic high power amplifier. It is designed for
a wide range of applications, from military to
commercial communication systems.
The
backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounds.
This helps simplify the assembly process.
The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT
process, 0.25m gate length, via holes through
the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate
lithography.
It is available in chip form.
