Custom MMIC launches 50GHz distributed LNA
Custom MMIC of Westford, MA, USA, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), has launched the CMD206, a DC-50GHz distributed low-noise amplifier (LNA) in die form.
The CMD206 features a noise figure of less than 3.5dB, a gain of greater than 11dB, and a P1dB (output power at 1dB compression point) of +12dBm at 30GHz. The amplifier requires an all-positive bias of only 4V @ 32mA (drain), 3V (gate).
An external drain bias network and input blocking capacitor are required for proper operation. The die offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection.
Applications for the CMD206 include microwave radio and VSAT, telecom infrastructure, test instrumentation, military and space, and fiber optics.
