The PVGA-123+ is a GaAs pHEMT variable gain amplifier designed for wideband applications from 0.4 to 12 GHz, with a 3x3 mm 12-lead QFN-style package featuring an exposed paddle. It operates from a single +6 V supply, drawing 77 mA, and provides a typical gain of 16 dB at 6 GHz with a 16 dB adjustable gain range. The amplifier delivers +22 dBm P1dB and +30 dBm OIP3, while maintaining input and output return losses above 11 dB across the band. It is suitable for radar, electronic warfare, 5G backhaul, and test equipment applications.
The PVGA-123+ is a GaAs pHEMT high performance variable gain amplifier operating from 0.4 to 12 GHz. The amplifier provides 16 dB Gain, +30 dBm OIP3 and +22 dBm P1dB with 17 dB typical return loss while operating from +6 V and 77 mA DC power. The amplifier gain is voltage adjustable over a 16 dB dynamic range while maintaining excellent input IP3. The amplifier is ideal for use in very wideband ECM, Test and Measurement and Back Haul Radio systems.
