Suited for broadband EW and communication systems The CMD157 (die) and CMD157P3 (packaged) are GaAs MMIC low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) for applications from 6 to 18 GHz. The parts feature a low noise figure of 1.5 dB, greater than 25 dB of flat gain, and a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of 10 dBm.
Both LNAs are 50 Ω matched designs, thus eliminating the need for external dc blocks and RF port matching. They are biased with a single positive voltage of 3.0 V at 52 mA. They can also be used in low noise downconverters, microwave radio receiver systems, and radar receivers (Contact company for pricing — available now)
