The MAAL-010704 from MACOM is a Single Stage MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that operates from 0.1 to 3.5 GHz. It provides a small signal gain of more than 12.5 dB with a noise figure of 0.95 dB and a P1dB of 18 dBm. The amplifier requires a DC supply of 3-5 V and is integrated with an active bias circuit that allows direct connection to a 3 V supply for minimizing the variation over temperature and process. The bias current can be set with an external resistor to allow the user to customize the current value as per the requirement. The broadband match and single-supply operation make this LNA easy to use and simplifies its implementation while maintaining excellent performance.
The amplifier offers excellent linearity, low thermal resistance and is integrated with ESD protection which enhances its quality, reliability, and ruggedness. It is available in a RoHS compliant SOT-363 package with no external connectors and is ideal for aerospace, defense, wireless networking, and communication applications.
