Overview
The Teledyne Microwave Solutions datasheet presents technical specifications, performance metrics, and package details for the 8.0-14.0 GHz CougarPak™ Amplifier, model A2CP14221. Aimed at high-frequency applications, the amplifier boasts a balance of high gain, low noise figure, significant reverse isolation, and superior thin film performance within a compact CougarPak™ SMA package.
Key Specifications
The A2CP14221 offers a small signal gain of 21.3 dB (typical) and 20.2 dB (minimum), with a maximum gain flatness of ±1.5 dB across the 8.0-14.0 GHz frequency range. It features a low noise figure of 3.2 dB (maximum) and an impressive reverse isolation of 45 dB. Operating SWR is 1.8:1 (input) and 2.0:1 (output), while the power output capacity at 1 dB compression is +25 dBm (minimum). The amplifier operates efficiently within a DC current maximum of 205 mA under guaranteed conditions from 0 to 50°C and from -55 to +85°C.
Intermodulation Performance
At a 25°C operating temperature and 9.0 GHz, the A2CP14221 features a second-order harmonic intercept point at +49 dBm, a second-order two-tone intercept point at +43 dBm, and a third-order two-tone intercept point at +33 dBm.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Key ratings include a maximum storage temperature range of -65 to +150°C, a maximum case temperature of +125°C, and a maximum DC voltage input of +14 Volts. RF input power should not exceed +20 dBm continuously or +23 dBm short-term (1 minute max), with a peak power limit of +27 dBm for a maximum of 3 microseconds. Burn-in is sustainable at +125°C, with a thermal resistance of +11.4°C/Watt and a maximum junction temperature rise above case temperature (Tjc) of +25.3°C.
Typical Automatic Test Data
Provided test data for model A2CP14221 demonstrates stability across various performance attributes at two operating temperatures: +25°C and +85°C. Measurements of gain versus temperature, SWR, delay, noise figure, and power output at 1 dB compression are included to offer insight into the amplifier’s reliability under different conditions.
