Model CMM1430-KU is a 1 watt power amplifier for transmit subsystem function in Ku-band VSAT applications. The amplifier operates from 13.75 to 14.50 GHz and offers 34.5 dB of linear gain, 32 dBm saturated output power and 50 ohm internal matching. The CMM1430-KU is packaged in a space-efficient flange package designed with a base material of gold-plated copper/moly composite, which offers excellent thermal dissipation. Reduced circuit board space and cost is further achieved through minimal external circuitry for bias and matching offering simplicity in production assembly.
