AVA-183A+ Amplifier

General Description

The AVA-183A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier and fully integrated gain block up to 18 GHz. It is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP package, which provides excellent RF and thermal performance. The AVA-183A+ integrates the entire matching network with the majority of the bias circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated external circuits. This approach makes the AVA-183A+ extremely flexible and enables simple, straightforward use.

The AVA-183A+ is a wideband monolithic amplifier with outstanding gain flatness up to 18 GHz. It is manufactured using PHEMT technology and is unconditionally stable. Its outstanding isolation enables it to be used as a wideband isolation amplifier or buffer amplifier in a variety of microwave systems.
