SBP-3834034032-2828-E1-HR

Advanced Rev 1.1

Description:
Model SBP-3834034032-2828-E1-HR is a power amplifier witha typical small signal gain of 40 dB and a nominal P1dB of +32
dBm across the frequency range of 38 to 40 GHz. The DC
power requirement for the amplifier is +8 VDC/2.4 A atquiescent and +8 VDC/4.0 A under RF drive. The RF connectors
are WR-28 Uni-Guide™ waveguides. Other port
configurations, such as K connectors, are also available underdifferent model numbers.

All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit.
All testing was performed under +25 ˚C case temperature.
The amplifier employs SAGE Millimeter’s trademarked and patent pending technology, UniGuide™, as its waveguide interfaces. The orientation of the input and the output waveguides
can be specified through corresponding model numbers. For example, the model number for ahorizontal output waveguide configuration would be SBP-3834034032-2828H-E1-HR instead ofthe default SBP-3834034032-2828-E1-HR which indicates vertical orientation output.
Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.
SAGE Millimeter, Inc. reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.

Caution:••Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
