New MMIC Amplifier Provides High Active Directivity from 1.5 to 6.0 GHz

2016-03-10 | Return

11 March 2016 – Mini-Circuits’ new MNA-7A+ MMIC amplifier covers the 1.5 to 6.0 GHz frequency range, supporting a wide variety of applications including WiMAX, PCN, WiFi, defense and more. This model provides high active directivity (19 – 38 dB), making it suitable for use as a buffer amplifier to minimize interaction with adjacent circuits. It delivers 16 dB typical gain, P1dB up to +17.4 dBm, and IP3 up to +28.8 dBm (at 5V operation).

The amplifier can operate on a single supply voltage from +2.8 to +5V, giving the user flexibility to reduce power consumption with low-voltage operation or to maximize P1dB and IP3 with +5V operation. It integrates the entire matching network and the majority of the bias circuit inside the package, simplifying circuit design and saving board space. It comes in a tiny 3x3mm 8-pad MCLP package with low inductance, repeatable transitions and excellent thermal contact to the PCB. The unit has HBM Class 1A and MM Class M1 ESD ratings and moisture sensitivity rating of MSL 1, minimizing special handling requirements on production lines.
