Custom MMIC launches GaAs MMIC LNA operating at 33-45GHz

Custom MMIC of Westford, MA, USA has added the CMD190 to its growing monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) library of standard products.

The CMD190 is a highly efficient gallium arsenide (GaAs) MMIC ultra-low-noise amplifier for applications at 33-45GHz. The amplifier delivers more than 19dB of gain with a corresponding noise figure of 2.1dB at 36GHz. The CMD190 is an all-positive bias design, eliminating the complicated and costly negative-bias sequencing circuits while also simplifying board layout. In addition, the use of an on-chip pinch-off tracking circuit ensures consistent performance over temperature and process variation.

The CMD190 is a 50 ohm matched design, which eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. It offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection.

Suitable applications for the CMD190 include: point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios, as well as military and space applications.
