The ADL8142-2 from Analog Devices is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that operates from 23 to 31 GHz. It provides a gain of 26.5 dB with a noise figure of 1.8 dB and delivers a saturated output power of 10 dBm. The LNA requires a DC supply from 1.5 to 3.5 V and consumes 25 mA of current. It is available as a bare die that measures 0.945 x 1.015 x 0.100 mm with inputs and outputs that are internally matched to 50-ohms and facilitate integration into multichip modules (MCMs). This amplifier is ideal for use in satellite communication, telecommunication, and civilian radar applications. It also features inputs and outputs that are AC-coupled making it suitable for high-capacity microwave radio applications.
