6-20 GHz Low Noise Amplifier
Data Sheet
Features
• 5x5 mm surface mount package
• Broad Band performance 6-20 GHz
• Low 2.5 dB typical noise figure
• High 22 dB typical gain
• 50
W
input and output match
• Single 3 V (55 mA) supply bias
Description
Agilent’s AMMP-6220 is a high gain,
low-noise amplifier that operates
from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. The LNA is
designed to be a easy-to-use compo-
nent for any surface mount PCB
application. The broad and uncondi-
tionally stable performance makes
this LNA ideal for primary, sub-
sequential or driver low noise gain
stages. Intended applications in-
clude microwave radios, 802.16,
automotive radar, VSAT, and satel-
lite receivers. Since one part can
cover several bands, the AMMP-6220
can reduce part inventory and in-
crease volume purchase options. The
LNA has integrated 50
W
I/O match,
DC blocking, self-bias and choke to
eliminate complex tuning and as-
sembly processes typically re-
quired by hybrid (discrete-FET)
amplifiers. The package is full
SMT compatible with backside
grounding and I/O to simplify
assembly.
Applications
• Microwave radio systems
• Satellite VSAT, DBS up/down link
• LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW Long Haul
• Broadband Wireless Access (in-
cluding 802.16 and 802.20 WiMax)
• WLL and MMDS loops
• Commercial grade military

4. Pre-assembly into package performance verified 100% on-wafer per AMMC-6220 published specifications.
5. This final package part performance is verified by a functional test correlated to actual performance at one or more frequencies.
6. Specifications are derived from measurements in a 50
W
test environment. Aspects of the amplifier performance may be improved over a more
narrow bandwidth by application of additional conjugate, linearity, or low noise (Gopt) matching.
