The MAAL-011186 from MACOM is a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that operates from 20 to 55 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 17 dBm with a small signal gain of more than 15 dB and a noise figure of less than 6 dB. This LNA is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced reliability. It can be used as a low-noise amplifier or driver in higher-power applications. The amplifier requires a bias voltage of 3.5 V and a bias current of 130 mA. It is available in a 12-lead SMT package that measures 5.00 x 5.00 x 1.73 mm and is ideal for testing and measurement, 5G communications, EW, ECM, and radar applications.
