WVA-60903G+

Overview

The WVA-60903G+ is a wideband medium power waveguide amplifier by Mini-Circuits, covering the full WR12 band from 60 to 90 GHz. It provides a gain range of 26 to 29.5 dB with a flatness of ±1.5 dB and a noise figure of 5 dB. The device utilizes a connectorized WR12 interface and operates within a 50Ω system. Packaged in case style YS3481, it serves as an E-band gain block suitable for high-frequency applications requiring stable amplification across the entire millimeter-wave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering the complete WR12 frequency range
• Medium power output capability for signal boosting
• Low noise figure for sensitive reception applications
• Connectorized WR12 interface for direct waveguide integration

Applications

• Automotive radar testing
• E-band communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions against the YS3481 case style before integration. Confirm that the WR12 connector type matches the system requirements. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for medium power operation. Cross-reference the gain and noise figure specifications with the latest official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure compliance with design tolerances.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-device solution is required for the entire 60-90 GHz WR12 band. It is appropriate for designs needing moderate gain with low noise characteristics. Consider the waveguide interface constraints and physical size of the YS3481 package. Evaluate if the medium power output meets the system's dynamic range requirements without additional amplification stages.
