Monolithic microwave integrated circuit developer Custom MMIC of Westford, MA, USA has launched the CMD291 wideband driver amplifier MMIC.
The CMD291 is a wideband gallium arsenide (GaAs) MMIC driver amplifier die that operates between 16 GHz and 24 GHz. It delivers 22.5 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of +26 dBm and output IP3 (third-order intercept point) of 32.5 dBm at 20 GHz.
Suitable for applications requiring high dynamic range, the broadband device is a pad-compatible replacement for the HMC498, with superior gain flatness and thermal conductivity.
