K Band (20-30 GHz) Low Noise Amplifier MMIC

 

 

Description

ANO-XXXXX is a GaAs monolithic mm-wave low noise amplifier for K band applications.

This is a 3-stage high-gain amplifier.  This MMIC is designed on GaAs low-noise

pHEMT technology that includes substrate vias, airbridges, thin film resistors and MIM caps.

The part is available in chip and LGA/BGA package form and is compatible with

automated assembly techniques.
