M/A-COM Tech makes a point with its new GaAs PA
Feb 03, 2012 The supplier of high performance analogue semiconductor solutions is launching a new 1.2 W gallium arsenide power amplifier which boasts high linearityM/A-COM Technology Solutions (M/A-COM Tech) has revealed a new power amplifier (PA) for point-to-point radio applications.
The MAAP-008924 is a 3-stage, high linearity 1.2 W GaAs PA. Packaged in a 5 mm, 20-Lead PQFN, the amplifier is fully matched to 50 Ω on both the input and output.
