IXYS Announces an Advanced GaAs/AlGaAs pHEMT MMIC High Power Amplifier for Wireless 4G/5G Infrastructure Applications
June 15 2017 - 8:30AM
MicroWave Technology, Inc. (MwT), a division of IXYS Corporation
(NASDAQ: IXYS), announced the release of its advanced GaAs/AlGaAs
pHEMT-based Ka-band Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC)
high power amplifier product. The product is used by a major
wireless communication equipment manufacturer for high data rate
links for 4G/5G wireless infrastructure applications.
The Ka-band MMIC power amplifier, MMA-273336-M5,
is a standard MMIC product available in volume production. The
power amplifier operates between 27 and 33 GHz, providing 35 dBm
(over 3W) of output power at a 1dB gain compression point and
exceptional 36 dBm (4W) of output power at a 3 dB gain compression
point. The typical small signal gain is 22 dB across the
band. The IM3 level is –40 dBc at 20 dBm output power per tune. The
DC bias conditions for this MMIC power amplifier are 6 volts and
2.8 amperes on the drain and –0.9 volt on the gate.
“I am pleased that our advanced Ka-band MMIC
high power amplifier has been used in production quantities for
high data rate links for 4G/5G infrastructure applications,”
commented Dr. Greg Zhou, General Manager of MwT. “The
state-of-the-art power and efficiency performance of the MMIC high
power amplifier clearly demonstrates our superior technical and
product capabilities for MMIC products up to the mm-wave frequency
range. The applications of this MMIC high power amplifier include
4G/5G wireless infrastructure, very small aperture terminal (VSAT)
transmitters, and point-to-point (PtP) microwave links for high
data rate communications, as well as military and space
applications. The exceptional power level from the MMA-273336-M5
exceeds the output power specification demanded by today’s emerging
Ka-band (30 GHz) high data rate applications.”
The MMA-273336-M5 is fully matched for both
input and output terminals for easy cascade and is packaged in the
low cost M5 (5mm x 5mm) surface mount package with excellent
thermal characteristics. The mean time before failure (MTBF) for
this high power amplifiers is over 100 years at 85 degrees C
ambient temperature. Evaluation boards for this and other power
amplifiers are available now. For detailed datasheets and
evaluation boards, please visit the MwT’s website at
