Description
M/A-COM’s MAAM12000-A1 is a wide band, low
noise, MMIC amplifier housed in a lead-free, small
8-lead ceramic package. It includes two integrated
gain stages and employs series inductive feedback
to obtain excellent noise figure and a good, 50-ohm,
input and output impedance match over the 1.2 to
1.75 GHz band. The MAAM12000-A1 is fully
monolithic, requires no external components and is
provided in a low-cost, user-friendly, microwave
package.
The MAAM12000-A1 is ideally suited to receivers in
GPS and DGPS applications and operates over both
the L1 and L2 frequency bands. Because of its wide
bandwidth, the MAAM12000-A1 can also be used as
a driver, buffer or IF amplifier in numerous
commercial and government system applications
that require high gain, excellent linearity and low
power consumption.
The MAAM12000-A1 is manufactured in-house
using a reliable, 0.5 micron, GaAs MESFET process.
This product is 100% RF tested to ensure
compliance to performance specifications.
