MACOM RF Amplifiers SMA88

The SMA88 RF amplifier from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. is designed for a frequency range of 5 to 500 MHz and features a high gain of 18.7 dB (typical) and an output power of +20.5 dBm (typical). This amplifier utilizes a discrete thin film hybrid design, ensuring accurate performance and high reliability. It incorporates an active DC biasing network for temperature stability and an RF choke for power supply decoupling. The SMA88 is available in a surface mount package and is hermetically sealed, with options for MIL-STD-883 environmental screening. It operates with a 50Oc impedance and a DC voltage of +15 V. The amplifier has a maximum noise figure of 3.5 dB and a typical third-order intercept point (IP3) of +30 dBm. The device is suitable for applications requiring reliable amplification across a broad frequency range. Engineers should consider the SMA88 for projects that demand high gain and output power in RF applications, particularly where space and reliability are critical.
