CMD242K4

DC - 40 GHz Distributed Amplifier

Qorvo's CMD242K4 is a wideband GaAs MMIC distributed low noise amplifier housed in a leadless surface mount package which operates from DC to 40 GHz. The amplifier delivers greater than 10.5 dB of gain with a corresponding noise figure of 5 dB and output 1 dB compression point of 17.5 dBm at 20 GHz. The CMD242K4 is internally matched to 50 ohms which eliminates the need for RF port matching.
