Gain Block Amplifiers

Atlanta Micro’s AM1016 is a cascadable gain block amplifier with 14 dB gain, a 2.0 dB noise figure, +30 dBm OIP3, +17 dBm P1db, a 3.3V, 48 mA supply, a -40C to +85C operating temperature, and unconditional stability. It’s operational to +1.7V and comes in a 3mm QFN package.

Teledyne Microwave Solutions (TMS) offers a wide range of RF modules specifically designed to meet demanding small size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) applications in the Land, Air and Marine markets. Using unique chip and wire capabilities TMS offers extremely rugged and reliable products suitable for the most demanding platforms.

The CXE-1089Z is a high performance 75 ohm pHEMT MMIC low-noise amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with active bias. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process threshold voltage variations. It is designed for high linearity, low-noise consumer set-top box applications. The CXE-1089Z is internally matched to 75 ohms and operates directly from a supply voltage of 5V.

Celeritek’s CGB7014-SC is a Darlington Configured, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier MMIC with 18.5dB of gain at 6 GHz.

Qorvo offers high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain block amplifiers with integrated bypass mode functionality. With a 1-stage model and a 2-stage model, these LNAs are ideal for a wide range of applications including base station receivers, tower mount amplifiers, repeaters, FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, WCDMA, and general purpose wireless systems.

The 40MHz - 2600MHz Flat Gain High Linearity Gain Block: MGA-30889 from Avago Technologies is a broadband, flat gain, high linearity gain block MMIC amplifier achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.

The SPF-5344Z is a high performance, two-stage pHEMT MMIC LNA that offers low noise figure and high linearity in a gain block configuration. Its single-supply operation and integrated matching networks make implementation remarkably simple. The off-chip interstage choke and DC block allow for optimum performance tuning.

Celeritek’s CGB7001-BD is a Darlington configured, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier MMIC chip. It is matched to 50-W impedance for both input and output from 0.1 to 6.0 GHz
