CMD159

CMD159 10-17 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Features ► Ultra low noise performance ► Low current consumption ► Small die size Description The CMD159 is a highly efficient GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier ideally suited for EW and communications systems where small size and low power consumption are needed. The device is optimized for 12 GHz and delivers greater than 25 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +2 dBm and noise figure of 1.1 dB. The CMD159 is a 50 ohm matched design which eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. The CMD159 offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection. This amplifier is the perfect alternative to higher cost hybrid amplifiers.
