MAAL-011272

X-Band Low Noise Amplifier, 8 - 12 GHz

The MAAL-011272 is a high performance GaAs low noise amplifier MMIC designed to operate in X band. This device has a low noise figure of 1.5 dB with 33 dB of gain for a power consumption of only 250 mW. Ideally suited for use in military and radar. The die is manufactured using 0.13 µm gate length pHEMT technology. The MMIC uses gold bond pads and backside metallization and is fully protected with silicon nitrite passivation to obtain the highest level of reliability. This technology has been evaluated for space applications and is on the European Preferred Parts List of the European Space Agency
