Analog Devices Inc. ADL8107 Low Noise Amplifier is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave IC (MMIC). The amplifier features a pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), low noise, wideband, and high linearity amplifier that operates from 6GHz to 18GHz. The ADL8107 provides a typical gain of 24dB at 7GHz to 16GHz.
This article discusses the design decisions that must be made when selecting low-noise amplifiers and power amplifiers for use in beamforming arrays of active electronically scanned antennas (AESAs) in satellite communication (satcom). These components play an important role in providing greater flexibility for operators and consumers.
