Gain blocks for wireless range of 1.4 to 7.1 GHz covering 4G/5G

CML Microcircuits announces its new GaAs pHEMT CMX90G301 and CMX90G302 Positive Gain Slope Amplifiers made using its own innovative SµRF RFIC/MMIC design capability. These are designed as general-purpose gain blocks targeting wide range of wireless applications in the frequency range of 1.4 – 7.1 GHz covering 4G/5G infrastructure applications and devices operating in license-free frequency bands. Offering low DC power, low noise, and high gain, CMX90G301 has +1dB positive gain slope, while the CMX90G302 offers a +2dB gain slope for applications requiring higher gain-slope compensation. CMX90G301 and CMX90G302 deliver a small signal gain of 14.8 – 16.0dB, a P1dB output rating of +11.5dBm at 3.5 GHz and a low noise figure of 2dB. These are designed as “plug-in”, cascadable, gain blocks with on-board active bias circuit to avoid the need for passive equalisation circuits within the system design. Can be powered from a wide supply voltage of 2.7 to 5V, with a typical current of 22 mA. The RF ports of each device are matched to standard 50 Ω impedance to save time and make it good for mass-market applications. “The CMX90G301 and CMX90G302 Low-power Gain Blocks are the latest devices employing CML’s advanced SµRF design capability to address the growing market requirement for high-performing mmWave devices.”, said Matthew White, Marketing Manager for RF & mmWave. “CM...
