See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications APPLICATIONS y WiFi y WLAN y LTE y WiMAX y S-band Radar y C-Band Satcom PRODUCT OVERVIEW The LHA-83W+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using PHEMT technology and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with excellent gain flatness. In addition, the LHA-83W+ has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range. LHA-83W+ is enclosed in a 3x3mm, 12-lead MCLP package and has very good thermal performance. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Ultra Wideband: 50 MHz to 8 GHz Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands Extremely High IP3 35.4dBm typ. at 50 MHz 36.3 dBm typ. at 6 GHz The LHA-83W+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and power consumption. The combination of the design and PHEMT Structure provides enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being approximately 12 dB above the P1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in: y Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths y Drivers in linearized transmit systems y Secondary amplifiers in ultra-High Dynamic range receivers Excellent Gain Flatness Typical ±2.4 dB gain flatness across the entire frequency range minimizes the need for external equalizer networks making it a great fit for instrumentation and EW application.
