Electronics Introduces New M/A-COM 13.75 GHz - 14.5 GHz 1.25 W VSAT
Power Amplifier
Low-Cost, RoHS Compliant
Amplifier Ideally Suited for Applications that Require High Efficiency
LOWELL, Mass. – Feb. 14, 2008 – Tyco Electronics
today launched the M/A-COM MAAPSS0111 amplifier, a new 13.75 – 14.5
GHz, four-stage, 1.25 Watt power amplifier specifically designed for
Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) applications that require high efficiency.
The MAAPSS0111 can be used as either a driver or an output stage amplifier.
“One of the key figures of merit for amplifiers in communication
systems is the inter-modulation performance of third order products,
IM3,” said David Folding, product manager, Tyco Electronics. “The MAAPSS0111
has well behaved IM3 performance over frequency, temperature, and operating
power which will enable high data rate communication in next generation
VSAT applications.”
The amplifier is designed to generate 31
dBm of saturated output power while drawing 530 mA of current. The M/A-COM
MAAPSS0111 has a typical power gain of 32 dB with an operating voltage
of 8.0 V and typical IM3 of 26 dBc. The amplifier is housed in a RoHS
compliant 6mm 28-lead PQFN package.
Pricing and Availability
The M/A-COM MAAPSS0111 is available from stock and is priced
at $16.21 for quantities of 100,000. Please contact Tyco Electronics’
M/A-COM domestic and international sales channels for price and delivery
information. Data sheets and supporting technical documents are available
