Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is adding a new 5-11 GHz ultra-low noise amplifier to their growing line of high-quality products. The CMD132P3 presents an ultra-low noise figure of 1.3 dB, delivers greater than 20 dB of gain across the entire bandwidth, and has a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +10 dBm. |
The CMD132P3, which is housed in a RoHS-compliant, 3×3 mm QFN plastic surface mount package, requires a single supply voltage of +3.6 V at 30 mA. Ideal for microwave radios and C- and X-band applications where small size and low power consumption are needed, the CMD132P3 is also suitable for point-to-point radios, point-to-multipoint radios, military and space applications, and test instrumentation. The 50 ohm matched design of the CMD132P3 amplifier does not require any external components aside from the usual bypass capacitors.
Electrical Performance – VDD = 3.6 V, TA = 25 °C
