Description
The MAAL-011155 is an easy to use, wideband ultra
low phase noise distributed amplifier in a lead-free
4 mm 16-lead PQFN package. It operates from 6 to
12 GHz and provides -167 dBc/Hz phase noise,
15.6 dB of linear gain, 20 dBm of P1dB, and 5 dB of
noise figure. The input and output are fully matched
to 50 Ω with typical return loss of 16 dB.
The RF output port is DC blocked. Amplifier control
is available through the use of a control circuit.
This product is fabricated using a low phase noise
HBT process which features full passivation for
enhanced reliability.
The MAAL-011155 can be used as a low noise
amplifier stage for signal generation applications.
This device is ideally
Measurement, EW, ECM, and Radar applications
where ultra low phase noise and drive power is
required.
