M/A-COM Unveil New X-Band LNA For V-Sat, Radar And Microwave Applications

Packaged in a small 3x3mm PQFN Surface Mount and having a single, positive bias supply, the device allows customers a simple and elegant LNA solution.

The MAAL-010528 GaAs MMIC LNA provides a nominal Gain of 20dB with excellent gain flatness, high OIP3 linearity of 26 dBm, and a mid-band noise figure supply of 1.6dB. The part features a self-bias architecture which requires the customer to apply only a single positive supply. In addition, the device is internally matched to 50 Ω input/output; altogether making the MAAL-010528 well suited for multiple radar and communication applications.

“The MAAL-010528 is ideal for customers looking for low noise figure and high linearity for their X-Band Solutions”, said Paul Beasly, Product Manager. “The excellent performance and very small, fully matched PQFN package make this LNA a simple and elegant solution for multiple applications.”
