Device Overview
General Description
The AMM-7473PC is a high-linearity broadband MMIC amplifier capable of providing +25 dBm output power typical. The AMM-7473PC can serve either as a linear signal amplifier, or as a saturated driver amplifier for H- or S-diode mixers. The amplifier has excellent return losses, gain flatness, and IP3.
Features
- +25 dBm output power up to 15GHz
- 16 dB gain up to 15GHz
- Excellent Return Losses
- No external bias tee required
Applications
- Mobile test and measurement equipment
- Radar and satellite communications
- Driver Amplifier for H and S - Diode Mixers

Port Configuration and Functions
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Connector Type | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | - | Housing or ground lug must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. |  |
| RF In | RF Input | SMAF | This is the RF Input port of the amplifier die. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and has built-in DC blocking capacitors. |  |
| RF Out | RF Output | SMAM | This is the amplifier’s RF Output. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and has built-in DC blocking capacitors. Must have less than 7:1 VSWR when operating. | |
| Vd | Drain Supply Pin | - | The VD pin supplies DC voltage to the drain of the amplifier IC. Apply gate bias voltage Vg before applying drain power supply. |  |
| Vg | Gate Bias Pin | - | The VG pin provides a required negative bias which controls the drain power supply current to the amplifier. More negative voltage decreases the supply current. Apply gate bias voltage Vg before applying drain power supply. |  |
