Device Overview

General Description

The ADM3-0022PA has the gain and output power to produce 1W of output power from a +0 dBm input power up to 22 GHz. It contains 3 broadband amplifier stages in series in a single package with built-in equalization to provide a flat gain and output power curve. This product is an unprotected amplifier module intended for lab use. See notes section for handling and operating precautions.

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications. Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings. To keep the temperature below 60°C, the user is advised to use a fan to keep a constant airflow over the heat sink.
