Description
Alpha’s three-stage reactively-matched 24–30 GHz MMIC low noise amplifier has typical small signal gain of 17 dB with a typical noise figure of 3.0 dB at 28 GHz. The chip uses Alpha’s proven 0.25 µm low noise PHEMT technology, and is based upon MBE layers and electron beam lithography for the highest uniformity and repeatability.
