MACOM RF Amplifiers EA54-2

The EA54-2 is a cascaded RF amplifier designed for operation within a frequency range of 5 to 500 MHz. It features a two-stage design that provides a typical small signal gain of 29.5 dB and a medium output power of 9.5 dBm. The amplifier utilizes a discrete hybrid design with thin film manufacturing processes, ensuring accurate performance and high reliability. Packaged in a TO-5 hermetically sealed case, the EA54-2 is suitable for various applications requiring robust environmental screening, as MIL-STD-883 screening is available. The amplifier operates with a DC voltage of +15 V and has a maximum DC current of 59 mA. It exhibits a noise figure of 5.0 dB and maintains good gain flatness of ±0.8 dB across its operational frequency range. The device is characterized by a maximum input/output VSWR of 1.8:1 and 2.0:1, respectively, and demonstrates an IP3 of +20 dBm. The EA54-2 is designed for applications that require compact size and reliable performance in RF amplification.
