The VWA5000078AA is a wideband distri- buted amplifier designed on a 0.15μm pHEMT process.
The device is capable of more than +19dBm of output power at saturation regime, up to 50GHz and more than +16dBm of output power at 1dB of gain compression, up to 30GHz. It pro- vides more than 10dB of linear gain from DC to 50 GHz with a positive slope up to 50GHz when operating with VD= +8V, with an excellent group delay. The design integrates an internal active drain biasing system that allows to avoid external Bias-Tee structure to feed the drain current. The supply current is as low as 135mA when opera- ting with VD= +8V.
