The Millitech AMP-12-02530 is a power amplifier module engineered for microwave and millimeter-wave applications spanning 18 to 110 GHz. Built on advanced PHEMT MMIC technology, it delivers high gain and low noise performance suitable for communication systems, radar, test equipment, transceivers, upconverters, and EW systems.
Technical Specifications
Gain ranges from 10 dB to 37 dB depending on configuration. The 1 dB compression point (1dBCP) typically falls between 10 dBm and 35 dBm, with saturated output power (Psat) ranging from 13 dBm to 38 dBm. Input voltage operates from 7 V to 15 V DC, with current draw between 0.6 A and 3.3 A at Psat. Maximum RF input power varies by model, with some configurations rated to 20 dBm.
