Compact MMIC amplifiers achieve high gain, low noise, with ease of use for design-in.
Altum RF Announces Three New Amplifiers Covering Q, V, and E-Band
Eindhoven, Netherlands - April 5, 2022 - Altum RF, a supplier of high-performance RF to millimeter-wave
semiconductor solutions for next generation markets and applications, announces
three new GaAs pHEMT MMIC amplifiers targeting applications covering
Q, V, and E-bands. Using WIN Semiconductors' next-generation PP10-20 GaAs pHEMT
technology, these compact die amplifiers achieve high gain and low noise, while
simplifying design-in for engineers by using single gate and single drain supplies.
Highlights of these amplifiers include:
- ARF1208 low noise amplifier - 37-59 GHz, 2.5 dB noise figure and 26.5 dB
linear gain at 50 GHz
- ARF1207 linear amplifier - 57-71 GHz, 25 dB gain and 22 dBm P1dB
output power
- ARF1206 low noise amplifier - 71-86 GHz, 22 dB gain and 4 dB
noise figure
WIN's PP10-20 technology builds on the proven and mature PP10-10 platform and
targets applications up to 170 GHz. As a key differentiator, PP10-20 allows
for a substantial increase in gain, with the same operating voltage for power applications.
"Building on our experience with WIN's proven 0.1 μm technology and with
careful attention to modeling, design and simulation workflow, we achieved first-pass
success with a family of millimeter-wave products in the newly-released PP10-20
process," stated Greg Baker, Altum RF CEO. "We are pleased with this success, which
supports our strategy to develop leading-edge components for millimeter-wave applications,
and we look forward to building a broader portfolio of products to address today's
and future market requirements."
David Danzilio, Senior Vice President, Technology and Strategic Business Development
at WIN Semiconductors added, "We are pleased to partner with Altum RF to commercialize
leading-edge millimeter-wave products leveraging WIN's high-performance platforms.
This next generation PP10-20 technology builds upon the mature PP10-10 platform
used in many of today's E-band power amplifiers deployed in wireless backhaul. PP10-
20 is a versatile technology enabling a wide range of millimeter-wave front-end
functions and supports amplifier performance well into D-band. The first-pass success
achieved by Altum RF confirms the reproducibility and production readiness of the
PP10-20 platform."
Altum RF is an international company, with strategic partnerships and office
locations that span the globe to support its growing product portfolio and permits
a variety of design projects based on customer requirements.
