RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required reel quantity, as variations exist across distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized suppliers due to potential supply chain fluctuations. Ensure the receiving facility handles ESD-sensitive components appropriately during installation.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated LNA is required for frequencies above 30 GHz. The 18.5 dB gain supports signal integrity in sensitive receiver chains. The 3.3 V supply requirement aligns with standard logic levels, simplifying bias network design compared to higher voltage alternatives.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to MACOM's portfolio of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). It serves as a specialized building block for millimeter-wave applications where low noise and moderate power handling are critical. The device complements other RF solutions by providing amplification in the E-band spectrum.
