MACOM
Technology Solutions Inc.
(“MACOM”), a leading supplier of
semiconductor solutions, today announced a new wideband distributed
amplifier with the introduction of the MAAM-011238,
offered in both bare-DIE
and Surface Mount packaged formats. Well suited for use in 5G test and
measurement (T&M) equipment, the MAAM-011238 gives system designers the
agility to leverage a single amplifier for 5G applications spanning
sub-6 GHz to mmW frequencies.

The MAAM-011238 amplifier supports wideband operation from 100 kHz up to 50 GHz (67.5 GHz for the Bare-DIE version) with typical gain of 14 dB at 30 GHz. The input and output are fully matched at 50 Ω with typical return loss of 10 dB across the band. The overall ease of use for customers is enhanced utilizing a positive gate bias, thereby eliminating the need for a negative voltage supply and bias sequencer. The MAAM-011238’s integrated power detector further simplifies system designs while preserving valuable board space. (Photo: Business Wire)

The MAAM-011238
amplifier supports wideband operation from 100 kHz up to 50 GHz (67.5
GHz for the Bare-DIE version) with typical gain of 14 dB at 30 GHz. The
input and output are fully matched at 50 Ω with typical return loss of
10 dB across the band. The overall ease of use for customers is enhanced
utilizing a positive gate bias, thereby eliminating the need for a
negative voltage supply and bias sequencer. The MAAM-011238’s integrated
power detector further simplifies system designs while preserving

The MAAM-011238 aims to deliver an effective broadband amplifier
solution for 5G sub-6 GHz to mmW testing. The MAAM-011238
and MAAM-011238-DIE
are available to customers today. MACOM will showcase its RF portfolio
at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2019, Booth #532 in
Boston, MA, U.S.A., June 4th – 6th. MACOM’s booth
will feature new product solutions optimized for 5G, wireless
basestations, radar, T&M and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM)
applications. To make an appointment, contact your local sales
representative. For more information about MACOM’s RF technology
