Description
The CMX90G302 is a low-power 50 Ω cascadable
MMIC gain block suitable for a wide variety of
wireless applications operating in the 1.4 –
7.1 GHz frequency range.
The gain block has a positive gain-slope of +2dB
across the band, eliminating the need for
equalisation and compensates for increasing
system losses with frequency.
CMX90G302 is highly integrated for ease of use,
minimising component count and board area. RF
ports are matched on-chip to 50 Ω with DCblocking
capacitors. An active bias circuit allows
the device to operate over a wide supply voltage
of 2.7V to 5V with typical current of 20 mA.
Using GaAs pHEMT to provide a combination of
low DC power, low noise and high gain.
An alternative part, CMX90G301, is available for
applications that require less gain-slope compensation.
