Richardson RFPD has announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new X-band GaAs low noise amplifier (LNA) from M/A-COM. The new LNA offers outstanding performance at a very low price, and a small, fully-matched PQFN package for simple implementation in VSAT, radar and microwave applications.
The MAAL-010528 offers higher gain and linearity performance in the 8.0 to 12.0 GHz band than many competing parts, as well as low noise figure and excellent gain flatness, in a miniature, lead-free, 16-lead, 3 mm x 3 mm PQFN surface mount plastic package. The LNA also features a self-bias architecture which requires only a single positive supply.
Additional key features of the MAAL-010528 include:
- Low cost
- 1.6 dB noise figure
- 20 dB gain
- 26 dBm OIP3
- 14 dBm P1dB
- Single +4 V bias @ 60 mA
- Fully internally matched to 50 Ω
The device is in stock and available for immediate delivery.
