Custom MMIC has now offers a new GaAs Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) MMIC with broadband noise figure performance previously only achievable with discrete FET designs. The CMD283C3, with 0.6 dB noise figure, is the first in a family of new Ultra-Low Noise Amplifiers.

The CMD283C3 LNA covers 2 to 6 GHz with high mid-band gain of 27 dB and output P1dB of 16 dBm. The MMIC is housed in a leadless 3 mm x 3 mm surface mount package. It operates from a bias supply of +2 to +5 V and draws a nominal 42 mA. The CMD283C3 is ideally suited for S- and C-Band receivers requiring excellent sensitivity, and as a replacement for discrete FET LNA solutions.
