Hi,
I am looking for an amplifier (preferably a MMIC) which would meet the following specs and would be grateful for any recommendations:
Band of operation: 10MHz to 400MHz.
Extremely linear, i.e. IP2 > 70dBm, IP3 > 40dBm
Gain: Nominal 16dB
P1dB: Around 22dBm
Low noise figure: < 2dB preferable
The minicircuits PHA-11+ (Dual matched E-PHEMT MMIC) seems to fit the job nicely however the performance degrades significantly <50MHz. I think this might be to the measurement setup used (components on the test board), so I may have to get hold of one to test.
However it would be useful to know if there is anything else around that I should be looking at.
Thanks
