Multi-function MMIC enables high isolation, high gain, low noise figure and low insertion loss.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, announced a new integrated SPDT switch and low noise amplifier (LNA), with bypass mode, for WLAN 802.11a,n,ac network applications.

The MAMF-010614 is an innovative solution for customers who need a versatile, ultra-small packaged multi-function MMIC for 8082.11a,n,ac applications.

The MAMF-010614 is packaged in a conveniently small 2mm x 2mm 12-lead STQFN while providing superior performance over the 5 – 6 GHz bandwidth. The device, which includes an SPDT switch with an integrated LNA with bypass mode, allows for a simple and easy solution for real estate constrained customers. The MAMF-010614 delivers high isolation between Tx and Rx paths, low Tx insertion loss and high gain.

“This multi function MMIC is useful to customers in WLAN applications where a bypass mode is required to avoid near-field distortion”, said Tom Galluccio, Product Manager. “The MAMF-010614 has low Tx insertion loss of 0.9 dB, high Rx gain performance of 12 dB and low Rx noise figure of 2.2dB, altogether making it a high performing solution in an ultra-small package.”
