28 GHz Analog Medium Output Voltage Driver
Photline Driver
The Photline DR-AN-28-MO is a wideband RF 3-stages (inverting) amplifier
module designed for analog applications at frequencies up to 20 GHz.
The Photline DR-AN-28-MO is characterized by a low Noise Figure and a
linear transfer function whose 1 dB compression point is above 20 dBm. It
exhibits flat Group Delay and Gain curves with reduced ripple over the entire
bandwidth.
FEATURES
The Photline DR-AN-28-MO operates from a single power supply for safety
and ease of use, and offers gain control over 3 dB. It comes in a compact
housing with K type RF connectors (compatible SMA) and with an optional
heat sink.
• Output voltage 6 Vpp
• Linear amplifier
• Flat gain up to 28 GHz
• Single voltage power supply
• Low group delay variation
This amplifier module is ideally suited to drive optical modulators for analog
applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional
operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure
to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
