New from MACOM Technology Solutions are the MAAL-011129 and MAAL-011130 low-noise amplifiers, targeted at test and measurement, SATCOM, aerospace and defence and ISM applications.

The MAAL-011129 is a versatile part, well-suited to diverse receiver applications such as VSAT, point-to-point and 24 GHz ISM. This device is fully matched across the band and provides a low noise figure, small package size and flexibility in biasing options.

The MAAL-011129 operates from 18 to 31,5 GHz and has a typical noise figure of 2,5 dB and gain of 23 dB at 24 GHz. The bias current can be set with a simple external resistor so the user can customise the power consumption and linearity performance. The device is housed in a lead-free, 2 x 2 mm 8-lead PDFN plastic package, offering simple and fast automated assembly with minimal usage of valuable real estate.

The MAAL-011130 was designed for customers who require a fully matched solution covering 2–18 GHz with low noise figure of 1,4 dB and high gain of 20 dB. The device is biased with a single +3,0 to +5,0 V bias and the current can be adjusted with a separate DC bias pin or set with an external resistor. It typically consumes only 30 mA and allows full power-down with the Vb pin.
