MACOM Introduces a New Broadband Low Noise Amplifier for Use in 22-38 GHz Applications

Low noise figure, and high gain amplifier boasts exceptional implementation in receiver applications

LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, today announced a new three-stage low noise amplifier for point to point applications.

The MAAL-011111 is a low noise amplifier covering 22 - 38GHz in a small and low cost 3X3 mm QFN package. It offers 19dB of gain and less than 3dB of noise figure. The LNA is self-biased requiring only a single 3.3V voltage supply and there is no need for any external components. It is easy to implement and takes up a small board area. The high gain and low noise figure makes it well suited as a first stage LNA in receiver applications covering multiple bands simultaneously.

“The MAAL-011111 offers excellent performance across the full band up to 38GHz in a small fully molded QFN package,” said Amer Droubi, Product Manager, MACOM. “The low noise amplifier has an integrated ESD protection and by-pass capacitors and requires a single positive bias supply, making it an idea low cost and easy to implement solution for a wide range of applications.”

The table below outlines typical performance:

Parameter	Units	MAAL-011111
Frequency	GHz	22-38
Small Signal Gain	dB	19
Input Return Loss	dB	10
Output Return Loss	dB	13
Noise Figure	dB	2.5
Supply Current	mA	55

Production quantities and samples of MAAL-011111 are available from stock. Final datasheets and additional product information can be obtained from the MACOM website at: www.macom.com
