Richardson RFPD supports ADIs low phase noise GaAs MMIC amplifiers
11 October 2021 
The ADL8150 self-biased GaAs MMIC, heterojunction bipolar transistor, low phase noise amplifiers operate at 6.0 to 14GHz frequencies and feature low phase noise of -172dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset and provides 12dB of typical signal gain and +30dBm typical output third-order intercept (OIP3).
The amplifiers require 74mA from a 5.0V collector supply voltage. Inputs and outputs are internally matched to 50Ω, to facilitate integration into multichip modules, says the company.
The amplifiers are suitable for a range of applications, including military and space, test instrumentation, and communications.
Richardson RFPD, an Arrow Electronics company, offers full design support capabilities for the GaAs amplifiers.
