Typical Applications* P1dB, P3dB and Psat power test signal: 200μs pulse width with 10% duty cycle.
* For average CW power testing or increased duty cycle, a 5dB back off from Psat is required unless water/oilcooling system is applied.

Description
26.2GHz~34GHz
Hermetically Sealed Power Amplifier

RFLUPA27G34GN-H

Ensure that the amplifier input and output ports are safely terminated into a proper 50 ohm load before turning on thepower. Never operate the amplifier without a load. A proper 50 ohm load is defined as a load with impedance less than 1.9:1 or
return loss larger than 10dB relative to 50 Ohm within the specified operating band width.
Power Supply RequirementsPower supply must be able to provide adequate current for the amplifier. Power supply should be able to provide 1.5 times
the typical current or 1.2 times the maximum current (whichever is greater).
In most cases, RF-Lambda amplifiers will withstand severe mismatches without damage. However, operation with poor loads
is discouraged. If prolonged operation with poor or unknown loads is expected, an external device such as an isolator or
circulator should be used to protect the amplifier.
Ensure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the input or output of the amp.
Prevent overdriving the amplifier. Do not exceed the recommended input power level.

Amplifier Use

Adequate heat-sinking required for RF amplifier modules. Please inquire.
Amplifiers do not contain Thermal protection, Reverse DC polarity or Over voltage protection with the exception of a fewmodels. Please inquire.
Proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
What is not covered with warranty?
Each of RF-Lambda amplifiers will go through power and temperature stress testing.
Due to fragile of the die, IC or MMIC, those are not covered by warranty. Any damage to those will NOT be free to repair.
