This amplifier offers market competitive performance focused on Ka-band satellite communications applications as a 50Ω matched amplifier requiring no external matching. The PMA3-24323LN+ is ideal as a 2nd stage amplifier without degrading overall system noise floor on the receive side, or as a low noise pre-driver or driver on the transmit side. This design operates on a single 5V positive supply and comes in a small plastic package (3 x 3 x 0.89mm), accommodating dense circuit board layouts. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Low Noise Figure, Typ. 3.1 dB Enables lower system noise figure performance. High Dynamic Range. y OIP3, Typ. +25 dBm y P1dB, Typ. +17 dBm Offers low noise figure with correspondingly high P1dB and OIP3 enables flexibility to achieve high Dynamic range system performance 3x3mm 12-lead QFN Style Package Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
