GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADL8141 is a low power consumption, low noise amplifier

that operates from 14 GHz to 24 GHz. Typical gain, noise figure,

and output third-order intercept (OIP3) are 29 dB, 1.4 dB, and 18

dBm, respectively. Typical supply current is 25 mA from a 2 V

supply. OIP3 and output power for 1 dB compression (OP1dB) can

be increased by adjusting a supply-referenced resistor connected

to the RBIAS pin. The RF input and output of the ADL8141 are

internally matched and AC-coupled.

The ADL8141 is fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic

high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), monolithic

microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process. The ADL8141 is

housed in a RoHS-compliant, 2 mm × 2 mm, 8-lead LFCSP and is

specified for operation from ?40°C to +85°C.
