Product Overview
CMA-62+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband amplifier fabricated using HBT technology and offers ultra flat
gain over a broad frequency range and with high IP3. In addition, the CMA-62+, has good input and output
return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching components and has dem-
onstrated excellent reliability. The MMIC amplifier is bonded to a multilayer integrated LTCC substrate, and
then hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere with gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn
solder. These amplifiers are capable of meeting MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock,
vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL. The testing can be done if requested.

Key Features
Feature Advantages
Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands:
Broad Band: 0.01 to 6.0 GHz
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX, SATELLITE IF

Ultra Flat Gain ±0.6 dB over 50 to 3000 MHz; ±0.10 dB over 700 to 2700 MHz
eliminates need for gain flattening for most applications

The CMA-62+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and
High IP3 vs. DC power Consumption power consumption. The combination of the design and HBT Structure provides en-
39 dBm typical at 0.05 GHz hanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 20
37 dBm typical at 0.8 GHz dB above the P 1dB point to 0.8 GHz. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in:
• Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths
• Drivers in linearized transmit systems

No External Matching Components CMA-62+ provides Input and Output Return Loss of 10-23 dB up to 7 GHz without the need
Required for any external matching components

Ceramic Hermetic Package Low Inductance, repeatable performance, excellent reliability.

General Description
CMA-62+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband amplifier fabricated using HBT technology and
offers ultra flat gain over a broad frequency range and with high IP3. In addition, the CMA-62+ has
good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching
components. Terminal finish is Ni-pd-Au and it has repeatable performance from lot to lot due to fully
automated, tightly controlled semiconductor and assembly processes.
