6-18 GHz Balanced Amplifier Module
« on: April 22, 2017, 01:18:45 AM »
The MwT-0618S-4N2/0618Z-4N2 is a balanced amplifier module operating at a frequency range of 6.0 to 18.0 GHz. It features 8.0 dB small-signal gain, and 15.0 dB input/output return loss.

The construction of the 15 mil alumina substrates and 10 mil copper FET ridge are brazed onto the 25-mil carrier using AuGe preform. The GaAs FETs are attached to the Cu ridge using AuSn preform. All capacitors are attached using AuSn preforms. The flanges are designed to accommodate 0-80 UNF-2A socket or Fillister head screws on .400 center-to-center hole spacing. The modules are mechanically and electrically designed to be cascaded.

Typical specifications at 25⁰C
