The

CMD241

is

wideband

GaAs

MMIC

distributed

low

noise

amplifier

die

which

operates from 2 to 22 GHz. The amplifier

delivers 14 dB of gain with a corresponding

noise figure of 2.3 dB and an output 1 dB

compression point of +21 dBm at 11 GHz. The

CMD241 is a 50 ohm matched design which

eliminates the need for external DC blocks and

RF port matching. The CMD241 offers full

passivation for increased reliability and moisture

protection.

► Ultra wideband performance

► Low noise figure

► Low current consumption

► Excellent return losses

► Small die size
