AM1102

Overview

The AM1102 is a wideband, cascadable RF amplifier manufactured by Mercury Systems (Atlanta Micro). It operates across a frequency range of DC to 22 GHz. The device provides a gain of 15 dB and exhibits an excellent noise figure of 2.3 dB at a test frequency of 10 GHz. It delivers a P1dB output power of 15 dBm. The component is powered by a supply voltage between 3 V and 3.3 V, drawing a supply current of 46 mA. It is housed in a 12-TFQFN exposed pad package with dimensions of 3x3 mm.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering DC to 22 GHz
• Cascadable architecture for system integration
• Low noise figure performance near DC frequencies

Applications

• GPS signal processing
• General purpose RF amplification
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as the part is produced by Mercury Systems under the Atlanta Micro brand. Ensure the specific package variant matches the 12-TFQFN requirement. Confirm lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Validate that the received components are genuine Mercury Systems products to ensure performance specifications are met.

Selection Notes

Select the AM1102 when a wideband solution from DC to 22 GHz is required. Its cascadable nature allows for flexible gain staging in complex RF chains. Consider the 46 mA supply current and 3V-3.3V operating range for power budget calculations. The small 12-QFN footprint is suitable for space-constrained designs requiring high-frequency performance.

Part Context

The AM1102 belongs to the Atlanta Micro line of RF amplifiers, now part of Mercury Systems. It serves as a gain block amplifier designed for high-frequency applications. The product is distinct from other RF components due to its specific DC-to-22 GHz coverage and cascadable design, targeting specialized communication and sensing systems.
