CHELMSFORD, Mass. – Custom MMIC in Chelmsford, Mass., is introducing the CMD270P3 and CMD174 low-noise amplifier (LNA) and phase shifter monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) for military high-performance RF and microwave applications.

The CMD270P3 is a C Band, 4-8 GHz LNA housed in a leadless 3-by-3-millimeter plastic surface mount package. The LNA delivers greater than 16 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +18 dBm and a noise figure of 1.7 dB.

The CMD270P3 is a 50 ohm matched design eliminating the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. It is for electronic warfare (EW) systems and communications receivers. The CMD270P3 also be used as an alternative to CMD185P3, based on pin and performance compatibility.

The CMD174 die is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) MMIC 5-bit phase shifter that operates from 3 to 6 GHz and provides 0 to 360 degrees of monotonic phase coverage, with a LSB of 11.25 degrees.

The device is controlled with negative logic of 0 and -3 volts and features an insertion loss of 7.6 dB and a phase error of ± 2 degrees. The CMD174 is a 50 ohm matched design. It is for phased array radar applications.
