It operates from DC to 28 GHz and provides 17.5 dB of linear gain, 16 dBm of P1dB and 1.4 dB of noise figure at 3,4 Pin Configuration 8 GHz. The input and output are fully matched to 50 with typical return loss >15 dB. Pin Pin Name Description This amplifier employs an active termination 2 AUX1 Auxiliary Drain Voltage 1 circuit to achieve a lower noise figure at the lower end of the frequency range than is possible using 5 RF RF Input IN traditional resistive termination techniques. 13 V Gate Voltage G This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced 18 V Active Termination Voltage AT reliability. 21 RF / V RF Output / Drain Voltage OUT DD The MAAL-011141 can be used as a low noise amplifier stage or as a driver stage in higher power 30 AUX2 Auxiliary Drain Voltage 2 applications. This device is ideally suited for 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, Test and Measurement, EW, ECM, and Radar 16, 17, 20, 22, GND Ground applications. 24, 25, 32 3, 7, 10 - 12, 14, 15, 19, 23, N/C No Connection 26 - 29, 31 1,2 Ordering Information 3.
