PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The PHA-102+ (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 PHA-102+ has good input
and output return loss over a broad frequency range. PHA-102+ is enclosed in a SOT-89 package and has very good thermal
performance.

Ultra Wideband: 50MHz to 6GHz
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands
Extremely High IP3
50 dBm typ. at 0.9 GHz
40.3 dBm typ. at 3 GHz
The PHA-102+ 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 approxi- mately 17 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, 50 MHz-3GHz
Typical ±0.3 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.
a. Suitability for model replacement within a particular system must be determined by and is solely the responsibility of the customer based on, among other things, electrical performance
criteria, stimulus conditions, application, compatibility with other components and environmental conditions and stresses.
b. The WJ AH102 part number is used for identification and comparison purposes only.
