Custom MMIC introduces new GaN low noise amplifier
Broadband 4 to 8GHz LNA can withstand 5W input power
Custom MMIC, a US developer of monolithic microwave integrated circuits, has added a new GaN low-noise amplifier (LNA) to its product range.
The CMD219C4 is a broadband MMIC LNA that operates from 4 to 8GHz with a gain of 22.5dB, a noise figure of 1.0dB, and an output 1dB compression point of +17dBm.
The CMD219C4 can withstand RF input power levels of up to 5W without permanent damage. The CMD219C4 is housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic package.
The CMD219C4 is suited for microwave radios and C-band applications where small size and high input power survivability are needed, such as point-to-point and point-to-multi-point radios, military and space, and test instrumentation.
