The MAGX-011086A from MACOM is a GaN on Si HEMT D-Mode Amplifier that operates from DC to 6 GHz. The amplifier provides a saturated and linear output power of 4 W (36 dBm) with a gain of 9 dB and has a drain efficiency of 45 % @5.8 GHz. It requires a DC supply of 28 V for operation. The amplifier is available in a thermally enhanced 24-Lead QFN package that measures 4 x 4 mm and the pads of the package form a coplanar launch that naturally absorbs lead parasitics. It is ideal for space-constrained applications in wireless & high dynamic range LNAs, broadband general-purpose amplifiers, defense communications, land mobile radio, wireless infrastructure, and ISM.
