MACOM's MAAL-011111 is a low-noise amplifier covering 22 to 38 GHz in a small and low-cost 3 x 3 mm QFN package. It offers 19 dB of gain and less than 3 dB of noise figure. The LNA is self-biased requiring only a single 3.3 V voltage supply and there is no need for any external components. The LNA is easy to implement and takes up a small board area. The high-gain and low-noise figure makes it well suited as a first stage LNA in receiver applications covering multiple bands simultaneously, such as the 24 GHz and 36 GHz range.
