Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new 22 to 38 GHz low noise amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAL-011111 is a three-stage GaAs MMIC LNA featuring a small signal gain of 19 dB with a noise figure of 2.5 dB. It is offered in a lead-free, 3 x 3 mm QFN package, does not need external components, and is self-biased.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a 75 Ω reverse path variable gain amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAM-011186 is an integrated two-stage differential amplifier operating from 5 to 300 MHz, with an embedded digital step attenuator (DSA) for CATV reverse path applications.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new 15 W X-band power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-015036 is a two-stage GaAs MMIC PA operating from 8.5 to 10.5 GHz, with a saturated pulsed output power of +42 dBm and a large signal gain of 17 dB. The MAAP-015036 is available in die form.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for four new high-linearity, low noise gain blocks from TriQuint. Offered as DIE, they target hybrid assembly designs requiring the highest level of performance unencumbered by package parasitics. All devices cover applications from 0.05 to 4 GHz such as commercial and military radar receivers, EW, and communication LNA designs.
Keysight Technologies introduced the N7614B Signal Studio for Power Amplifier (PA) Test; an all-in-one, general-purpose test suite designed to help engineers improve PA efficiency through support for crest factor reduction (CFR), envelope tracking (ET) and digital pre-distortion (DPD) technologies. 
RFMW Ltd. announces a pair of GaN amplifiers targeted at weather and marine radar applications. Both TriQuint amplifiers operate from a 28 V bias drawing 365 mA of current and both the TGA2624 and TGA2625 are offered in DIE formats. The TGA2624 (9 to 10 GHz) supports a saturated output power of 42.5 dBm. TriQuint’s TGA2625 (10 to 11 GHz) is specified at 43 dBm Psat with 37 dB of gain.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a four-stage, 71 to 86 GHz, bare die power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-011106 provides +25 dBm saturated output power and 20 dB small signal gain. The input and output are matched to 50Ω with bond wires to the external board.
The MAAL-011078 is designed for operation from 700 MHz to 6 GHz and is housed in a lead-free 2 mm 8-lead PDFN plastic package. The LNA has an integrated active bias circuit, allowing direct connection to 3 or 5 V bias and minimizing variations over temperature and process. V bias can be utilized as an enable pin to power the device up and down during operation.
Custom MMIC announces the CMD207, a new 20 to 40 GHz MMIC driver amplifier in die form with an all positive bias scheme, to their growing list of standard products. The CMD207 delivers 25 to 30 dB of gain, has an output 1 dB compression point of +18.5 dBm, a saturated output power of +21 dBm, and a noise figure of 5 to 6 dB across the entire 20 to 40 GHz bandwidth.
