The MAAM-SMA81S is a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier which operates from 8 to 12 GHz. It features high gain, excellent linearity, and low noise figure. The amplifier is packaged in a stunningly small 4x4 mm surface mount package making it ideal for applications in antenna array systems and point-to-point microwave radios. It is also suitable for a variety of other wide bandwidth and broadband wireless communication systems such as VHF/UHF radios and software-defined radios.
