MAAL-011265

Low Noise Amplifier 17.0 - 21.5 GHz

The MAAL-011265 is an easy to use low noise amplifier. It operates from 17 to 21.5 GHz and provides 1.5 dB noise figure, 28.5 dB gain and a P1dB of 9 dBm. The input and output are fully matched to 50 Ω with typical return loss >12 dB. This part is packaged in a 2 mm DFN 8-Lead Package. This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced reliability. The MAAL-011265 can be used as an ultra-low power dissipation low noise amplifier stage or as a driver stage in higher power applications. This device is ideally suited for Ka-band communication systems. It is also available in part die form under part number MAAL-011265-DIE.
