Description
Agilent’s AMMP-6430 is an MMIC power
amplifier designed for use in wireless transmitters
that operate within 25GHz to 33GHz range. At
30GHz, it provides 30dBm of output power (P-1dB)
and 20dB of small-signal gain from a small easy-
to-use device. This MMIC optimized for linear
operation with an output third order intercept
point (OIP3) of 38dBm. The device has input and
output matching circuitry for use in 50 Ω
environments. The AMMP-6430 also integrates a
temperature compensated RF power detection
circuit that enables power detection of 0.3V/W at
30GHz.

Notes:
1. Ambient operational temperature TA=25°C unless otherwise noted.
2. Thermal resistance (°C/Watt) at a channel temperature T(°C) can be estimated using the equation:
θ (T) ≅ θch-bs x [T (°C) + 273] / [150°C + 273].
