The Microchip UA1L30VM Broadband Amplifier Module is a general-purpose broadband
amplifier designed for microwave
communications, test equipment,
and military systems. Its small size
and exceptional performance make
it a versatile gain block which can
improve power and gain in a single
hermetically sealed package potentially
replacing (2) or (3) narrower band
amplifiers.
The UA1L30VM provides a complete
amplifier module package with a wide
frequency range of 1 GHz to 30 GHz,
low power dissipation, ample output
power, low noise figure and gain
control.
The UA1L30VM Microchip Broadband Amplifier Module may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
High-gain broadband amplifier module operating DC to 30 GHz with typical 30 dB gain and +10 dBm saturated output power. Features single +5V supply operation, 50-ohm matched V-connector interfaces, and internal bias circuitry. Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology in compact metal housing. Interfaces directly with RF test equipment, vector network analyzers, and signal generators via coaxial connections. Commonly applied in microwave test and measurement setups, high-frequency signal conditioning, receiver front-ends, and broadband communication systems. Suitable for laboratory instrumentation, defense electronics, and satellite communications requiring wideband amplification with flat frequency response.
Platforms
Designed for high-frequency RF and microwave test equipment, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, and broadband communication systems requiring 30 GHz bandwidth. Compatible with modular instrumentation platforms using standard coaxial SMA or 2.92mm connectors. Operates within laboratory benchtop environments and automated test systems for semiconductor characterization, antenna testing, and millimeter-wave research applications. Requires regulated DC power supply and temperature-controlled environment for optimal performance in precision measurement setups.
Applications
Designed for high-frequency signal amplification in microwave and millimeter-wave communication systems, test and measurement setups, radar systems, and instrumentation requiring broadband gain at 30 GHz. It integrates into microwave hardware platforms via coaxial connectors and interfaces with RF transceivers and signal processing units, enhancing receiver sensitivity and transmitter power across ultra-wide bandwidths.
Accessories
Requires a compatible test fixture or PCB designed for microwave module integration; connects via precision 3.5 mm coaxial SMA-type connectors designed for frequencies up to 30 GHz. Primary interfaces include RF input and output SMA connectors for broadband signal amplification. Power supply lines require appropriate DC biasing connectors as specified in datasheet, typically via mini coaxial or micro connectors for control signals.
Interfaces
SMA female RF input and output connectors for 50-ohm impedance matching. Single +5V DC power supply connection via solder pads or pin headers. No additional chassis or backplane required - standalone module design. Temperature monitoring available through integrated thermal pad connection. Module includes mounting holes for direct PCB integration. RF connectors support DC to 30 GHz operation with low VSWR. Power and ground connections utilize standard 0.1" pitch for easy integration.
Specifications
High-gain, low-noise broadband amplifier operating DC to 30 GHz with typical 20 dB gain and 3.5 dB noise figure. Features differential input/output architecture with V-connectors, 50-ohm impedance matching, and integrated bias tee. Requires single +5V supply at 150mA typical current. Temperature-compensated design maintains stable performance across -40°C to +85°C. Interfaces with RF test equipment, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers for signal conditioning, receiver front-ends, and measurement applications. Commonly deployed in microwave communications, radar systems, electronic warfare, and high-speed digital testing where wideband amplification of weak signals is required.
