Product Overview
The Mini-Circuits AVA-24A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier fabricated using InGaAs PHEMT
technology and is 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-24A+
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-24A+ extremely flexible and enables
simple, straightforward use.
Key Features
Advantages
Feature
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 36 dB (24 dB directivity), the AVA-24A+ is an excellent choice for buffer-
ing 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.
