M/A-COM Announces New Versatile, Broadband And Low Cost Wideband Amplifier
Amplifier solution boasts ultra-broadband performance in a small package for easy and efficient implementation in multi-market applications
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, recently announced a new wideband amplifier for Multi-market applications.
The MAAM-011109 is an innovative solution for customers who need a versatile, ultra-broadband packaged amplifier for IMS, Point to Point, Test & Measurement, Electronic Warfare and Aerospace and Defense applications. The device is packaged in a convenient 5mm x 5mm laminate package, while providing superior 10 MHz to 40 GHz continuous performance over its nearest alternatives. The MAAM-011109 provides a simple and easy solution for a variety of applications by fully integrating the bias network, power detection and gain control.
“The MAAM-011109 offers an excellent combination of broadband performance, ease of use and low cost,” said Tom Galluccio, Product Manager. The MAAM-011109 is ideally suited for any application that that requires 50 Ω gain performance from 10 MHz to 40 GHz. It is useful to customers in applications where the incoming signal varies over a broad bandwidth, specifically - laboratory, instrumentation, and defense applications.
This device is housed in a leadless 5 X 5 X 1.3 mm package that can be handled and placed with standard pick and place assembly equipment. The package base is a two layer laminate with overmold fully compatible with PCB environment and wash conditions. The device includes a GaAs MMIC that is fully passivated providing the customer excellent performance and reliability.
