Mini-Circuits’ PVGA-273+ is a low noise variable gain MMIC amplifier fabricated in GaAs pHEMT technology. Operating from 0.3 to 26.5 GHz, this amplifier features a high dynamic range with a 2.6 dB noise figure, 13.9 dB gain, +15 dBm P1dB, and +29 dBm OIP3. This design has the flexibility to operate from a +8 V drain voltage applied directly to the device or a +5 V drain voltage applied via a bias tee through the output port. An additional, optional supply voltage may be applied to enable a gain control range of 30 dB. The PVGA-273+ comes in an industry-standard 5×5 mm QFN-style package, with RF ports internally matched to 50Ω, facilitating easy integration into microwave systems.
