The CHA3024-FDB from United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS) is a Low Noise Amplifier that operates from 2 to 22 GHz. It delivers a linear gain of 15 dB with a noise figure of less than 3 dB and has a saturated output power of 22 dBm. The amplifier provides dynamically adjustable gain control of over 30 dB and has a P1dB of 18 dBm. It is manufactured on UMS' proprietary 0.15 µm gate length pHEMT process. The LNA requires a DC supply of 5 V and consumes 100 mA of current. It is available in a hermetic metal-ceramic surface mount package that measures 7 x 7 mm and is designed for S, C, X, Ku Band SATCOM, and radar for hi-reliability and on-board applications. The amplifier is also available in an optional cost-effective QFN package for test and measurement and space applications.
