Custom MMIC's New GaN LNA Meets Need For High RF Power Survivability

GaN LNA

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is pleased to announce the addition of the CMD219C4, a new GaN low-noise amplifier, to their standard product catalog.

The CMD219C4 is a broadband MMIC low-noise amplifier fabricated in GaN technology that operates from 4 to 8 GHz with a gain of 22.5 dB, a noise figure of 1.0 dB, and an output 1 dB compression point of +17 dBm. In terms of survivability, the CMD219C4 can withstand RF input power levels of up to 5 Watts without permanent damage. The CMD219C4 is housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic package. 

The CMD219C4 is ideally suited for microwave radios and C-band applications where small size and high input power survivability are needed, such as point-to-point and point-to-multi-point radios, military and space, and test instrumentation.
