Single-Stage Drive Amplifier

( 1 Jul 2007 )

M/A-COM announces a high dynamic range, low noise, single-stage driver amplifier. The MAAMSS0070 features a broad frequency range, high linearity, low noise figure and exceptional reliability. This driver amplifier is suitable for general purpose applications in wireless infrastructure, such as mobile base station transceivers, cellular repeaters, WiMax and WiBro Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and medical and test equipment. M/A-COM provides system engineers with a line of high-linearity driver amplifier solutions along with existing single-stage driver amplifiers including the MAAMSS 0017, MAAMSS 0048, MAAMSS 0049 and MAAMSS0050.

M/A-COM's MAAMSS0070 is fabricated using high-reliability GaAs Metal-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MESFET) process and features output P1dB levels of +22dBm with gain of 12dB at 2.14GHz, while achieving high third order output intercept performance and low noise figure over a broad frequency range. All the amplifiers in this family are housed in Pb-free, RoHS compliant SOT-89 plastic packages.
