M/A-COM Tech launches GaAs LNA for V-sat, radar and microwave

The gallium arsenide amplifier is claimed to offer excellent performance for easy and efficient implementation in X-band applications
 M/A-COM Technology Solutions has introduced an X-Band extension to its Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) family.

The MAAL-010528 is designed for customers who need a quick LNA solution for V-sat, radar and microwave applications.

This LNA delivers higher gain and linearity performance over the 8.0 to 12.0 GHz frequency band than many competing parts, providing customers with system advantages for their LNA requirements.

Packaged in a compact 3 x 3mm 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. M/A-COM Tech says this makes 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”, says 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.”
