Wideband GaAs MMIC distributed power amplifier boosts linearity

CUSTOM MMIC CMD201P5 packaged distributed amplifier MMICs provides high linearity with high output power and very low return loss, beyond ultra-wideband performance of dc to 20GHz. Devices provide 11dB of gain with an output 1dB compression point of over 28dBm and output IP3 of +38dBm at 10GHz. The input return loss and output return loss is at -16dB and -17dB, respectively. Device is offered in a compact 5×5 mm plastic QFN package and also features built 50 ohm matched design, which eliminates the need for additional RF port matching circuitry external to the MMIC. http://www.custommmic.com
