CMD218

CMD218 5-9 GHz GaN Low Noise Amplifier Features ► High gain ► Low noise figure ► High linearity ► High RF power survivability ► Small die size Description The CMD218 is a broadband MMIC GaN low noise amplifier ideally suited for microwave radios and C and X-band applications where small size and high input power survivability are needed. The broadband device delivers greater than 22 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +18.5 dBm and a noise figure of 0.9 dB. The CMD218 features a RF input power survivability of greater than 5 Watts. The CMD218 is a 50 ohm matched design eliminating the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching.
