CMD242
DC-40 GHz Distributed Amplifier
Features
► Ultra wideband performance ► Low current consumption ► Excellent return losses ► Small die size
Description
The CMD242 is wideband GaAs MMIC distributed low noise amplifier die which operates from DC to 40 GHz. The amplifier delivers greater than 10.5 dB of gain with a corresponding noise figure of 4.4 dB and output 1 dB compression point of 18.0 dBm at 20 GHz. The CMD242 is a 50 ohm matched design which eliminates the need for RF port matching. The CMD242 offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection.
