General Description

Need about 4 W at Ku-band? SAC3117 is a GaAs MMIC power amplifier die for 13.5 to 14.75 GHz with 36 dBm output P1dB, 29 dB of gain, 35% PAE and 40 dBm OIP3.

The drain takes +7 V at around 1300 mA, and the gate needs a small negative voltage. The passivated 2.68 x 1.95 x 0.1 mm chip has backside vias and gold metallization for conductive epoxy attach. Gain flatness is ±1.5 dB. Works as a final stage for SATCOM or point-to-point radio, or as a driver ahead of a larger Ku-band PA.
