Product Overview
The Mini-Circuits AVA-24+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier and fully integrated gain block up to
20 GHz. It is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP (QFN) package, which provides
excellent RF and thermal performance. The AVA-24+ integrates the entire matching network with the
majority of the bias circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated external circuits. This
approach makes the AVA-24+ extremely flexible and enables simple, straightforward use.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Broad frequency range supports a wide array of applications from microwave radio and radar , to
military communications and countermeasures.
Wideband, 5 to 20 GHz
Typical 0.8 dB gain flatness across the entire frequency range minimizes the need for external
equalizer networks making it a great fit for instrumentation and EW applications.
Excellent Gain Flatness
High Isolation
With reverse isolation of 37 dB (25 dB directivity), the AVA-24+ is an excellent choice for buffering
broadband circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flexibility and
margin when integrating cascaded RF components.
Manufacturability
MSL1 and ESD Class1A (HBM) ratings minimize special handling on production lines.
