LOWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), today introduced the MAAL-011141-DIE. Next generation test and measurement systems require higher performance wideband components offering ease of use and smaller footprints to allow for smaller modular solutions that accelerate time to market. MACOM’s wideband low noise amplifier, operating from DC to 28 GHz, is an ideal solution to meet these test and measurement requirements.

For over 60 years, MACOM’s design and applications experts have spearheaded innovation in the RF, microwave and millimeterwave domain. Proven engineering and application support teams are continuing in this legacy with the next generation of wideband MMIC solutions designed for the most demanding customer applications.

The MAAL-011141-DIE offers low noise figure across the full frequency range enabling signal integrity for wideband applications such as test and measurement and mission critical aerospace and defense. Requiring positive voltage only, the MAAL-011141-DIE eliminates the need for a negative voltage supply, allowing for fewer components and supply rails thus simplifying the design burden for customers. In addition, this low noise amplifier has a variable bias voltage, offering customers greater versatility to tradeoff between linearity and power consumption. The input and the output of the MAAL-011141 are fully matched to 50 Ω with a typical return loss >15 dB. Through innovative design techniques, this amplifier achieves a lower noise figure compared to alternative options, particularly at lower frequency ranges.

“The combination of flat gain, low noise figure performance and fully matched operation makes this device ideal for demanding test and measurement applications. The positive bias supply and variable bias voltage make the device highly versatile for many other applications,” said Paul Beasly, Product Manager, at MACOM. “The MAAL-011141-DIE will also be released in a 5 mm QFN package and is part of a new family of next generation MACOM wideband amplifiers.”
