DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The Filtronic Solid State LMA406 is a low noise PHEMT amplifier that operates from 18 to 40GHz.
This 2-stage amplifier provides 12dB nominal gain with 4.5dB typical noise figure and 1-dB gain
compression power output of +10dBm that is designed for commercial mmW (millimeter-wave)
PCN/PCS applications. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside
metallization.
