MAAL-011286

Ka Band, Low Noise Amplifier 15 - 24 GHz

The MAAL-011286 is an easy to use low noise amplifier. It operates from 15 to 24 GHz and provides 1.5 dB noise figure, 27 dB gain and a P1dB  of +19 dBm. The input and output are fully matched to 50 Ω with typical return loss >12 dB. This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced  reliability. This amplifier can be used as a low noise amplifier stage or as a driver stage in higher power applications. This device is ideally suited for Ka-band downlink satellite communication systems. The MAAL-011286 is also available in die form under MAAL-011286-DIE part number.
