Model AP-18433529 is a broadband high power amplifier operating from 18 GHz to 43 GHz. It generates a linear power of up to 29 dBm and provides a small signal gain of 35 dB over the range. Employing GaAs MMIC technology, the amplifier operates from a single bias supply of +6 Vdc to +15 Vdc with an internal voltage regulator/bias sequencing circuitry, consuming about 1050 mA of DC current. AP-18433529 has a highly miniaturized body of 32x32x12 mm3 (excluding connectors) and weighs 27 grams.
