MAAL-011141-TR0500

The MAAL-011141 is an easy-to-use wideband low-noise distributed amplifier die. It operates from DC to 28 GHz and provides a linear gain of 17.5 dB at 8 GHz, a P1dB of 16 dBm and a noise figure of 1.4 dB. The input and output are perfectly matched to 50 Ω, with a typical return loss of> 15 dB. The amplifier employs an active termination circuit to achieve a lower noise figure at the lower end of the frequency range than using conventional resistive termination techniques. This product is manufactured using GaAs pHEMT process, which features full passivation for enhanced reliability. The MAAL-011141 can be used as a low noise amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications. The device is ideal for test and measurement, EW, ECM and Rada applications.
