The MLA-01122B from MicroWave Technology is a fully matched Low-Noise MMIC Amplifier that operates from 1 to 12 GHz. It provides a gain of 17 dB with a noise figure of less than 1.8 dB and has a P1dB of 16.5 dBm. The LNA utilizes GaAs pHEMT technology and has an on-chip bias circuit, choke and DC blocking for providing bias stability. It requires a DC supply voltage of 5 V and draws 55 mA of current. The amplifier is available as a die that measures 1.57 x 1.31 x 0.10 mm and is ideal for microwave radios, satellite communication, instrumentation, wideband systems and in many other commercial wireless applications where low-noise figure with high gain is desirable.
