ANALOG DEVICES ADPA7002-EVALZ

ADPA7002-EVALZ is an evaluation board for ADPA7002 power amplifier. ADPA7002 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transfer (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), 28 dBm (1/2 W) power amplifier, with an integrated temperature compensated on-chip power detector that operates between 18GHz and 44GHz. The board consists of a two-layer printed circuit board (PCB) fabricated from 10 mil thick, Rogers 4350 copper clad mounted to an aluminium heat sink. The heat sink assists in providing thermal relief to the device, as well as mechanical support to the PCB. Mounting holes on the heat sink allow attachment to larger heat sinks for improved thermal management. The RFIN and RFOUT ports are populated by 2.9mm, female coaxial connectors and their respective RF traces are of 50 ohm characteristic impedance. The board is populated with components suitable for use over the entire operating temperature range of the device.
