GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADL8106 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high

electron mobility transfer (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated

circuit (MMIC), wideband low noise amplifier that operates from

18 GHz to 54 GHz. All the typically required external passive

components for operation (ac coupling capacitors and power supply

decoupling capacitors) are integrated, which facilitates a small and

compact printed circuit board (PCB) footprint.

The ADL8106 provides a gain of 21.5 dB, an output power for 1 dB

compression (OP1dB) of 14.5 dBm, and a typical output third-order

intercept (OIP3) of 21.5 dBm at 30 GHz to 44 GHz. The ADL8106

requires 120 mA from a 3 V supply voltage (VDDx). The ADL8106

is housed in a 5.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 24-terminal chip array small

outline no lead cavity (LGA_CAV) package.
