Custom MMIC has introduced a new 6 to 20 GHz Low-Noise Amplifier to its growing product library, the CMD194C3. The new packaged broadband amplifier offers low noise figure and high gain while requiring a single-supply voltage. It operates from 6-20 GHz and delivers greater than 20 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +15 dBm and a noise figure of 2 dB. The device is housed in a leadless, Pb-free, and RoHs compliant 3x3 mm ceramic surface-mount package. The ports of the MMIC are matched to 50 Ohms, thereby eliminating the need for external DC blocks and RF matching. The CMD194C3 low-noise amplifier is ideally suited for EW and communications systems where small size and low power consumption are needed. The amplifier is ideally suited for Electronic Warfare and communications system applications where small size and low power consumption are needed. Other applications include point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios, military EW systems, and test instrumentation.
