VAR GAIN AMP SMA 0.5-4 GHZ

VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER

The FMAM7002 is an RF amplifier with voltage variable gain control that covers a broadband frequency from 0.5 GHz to 4 GHz. The module provides a continuously variable gain control of 20 dB over the entire frequency band which gives the Designer increased dynamic range and the ability to set signal levels. The low control current (typically less than 10 mA) simplifies control driver requirements. The design incorporates the use of GaAs FET and MMIC fixed-gain modules to provide low noise figure and medium power output over the entire freqeuncy band. Typical performance for the 50 ohm design with 0V gain control includes 43 dB small signal gain, 4 dB noise figure, and +18 dBm output P1dB. DC Bias Voltage ranges from +12V to +15V with 270 mA current, and variagle gain control voltage ranges from 0V for maximum gain to +5V for minimum gain. The rugged Mil Grade aluminum package supports SMA female connectors, has an operational temperature range of 0⁰C to +50⁰C, and is designed to meet a series of environmental conditions including Altitude, Vibration, Humidity, and Shock.
