M/A-COM Technology Solutions Announces New X-Band Low Noise Amplifier for V-Sat, Radar and Microwave Applications
Amplifier Boasts Excellent Performance for Easy and Efficient Implementation in X-Band Applications
Lowell, MA, –M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.(“M/A-COM”), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, today announced an X-Band extension to its Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) family. The MAAL-010528 is designed for customers who need a quick LNA solution for V-Sat, Radar and Microwave Applications. This LNA delivers higher Gain and Linearity performance over the 8.0- 12.0 GHz frequency band than many competing parts, providing customers with system advantages for their LNA requirements. Packaged in a small 3x3mm PQFN Surface Mount and having a single, positive bias supply, the device allows customers a simple and elegant LNA solution.
The MAAL-010528 GaAs MMIC LNA provides a nominal Gain of 20dB with excellent gain flatness, high OIP3 linearity of 26 dBm, and a mid-band noise figure supply of 1.6dB. The part features a self-bias architecture which requires the customer to apply only a single positive supply. In addition, the device is internally matched to 50Â Ω input/output; altogether making the MAAL-010528 well suited for multiple radar and communication applications.
“The MAAL-010528 is ideal for customers looking for low noise figure and high linearity for their X-Band Solutions”, said Paul Beasly, Product Manager. “The excellent performance and very small, fully matched PQFN package make this LNA a simple and elegant solution for multiple applications.”Â
