The LTA-5R183-D+ from Mini Circuits is a Wideband Amplifier Die that operates from 0.5 to 18 GHz. It provides a gain of up to 13.1 dB with a noise figure of under 4.8 dB and directivity of 18 dB. The amplifier is fabricated using a pHEMT process and delivers excellent gain flatness of ± 1.6 dB, good return loss, and medium current with good P1dB and OIP3 across the band without the need of an external matching network. It requires a 5 V DC supply and consumes 85 mA of current. This RoHS-compliant amplifier is available as an unpackaged die and is ideal for instrumentation, cellular infrastructure, and defense applications.
