RF Low Noise Amplifier Die
Nine low-noise amplifier bare-die models for OEM RF hardware and laboratory receiver projects. Compare frequency bands, typical gain, noise figure and output compression alongside the reference supply and die dimensions, then request the model and documentation your project requires.
Compare nine MMIC low-noise amplifier die.
Start with the required frequency band, then compare gain, noise figure, output P1dB and the reference DC requirements. Each row retains its operating-mode reference so the values can be assessed together.

Figures are reference summaries for a +5 V supply, a 50 Ω electrical test system and the operating-mode context shown for each model. Gain, noise figure, output P1dB and quiescent current are typical values, not guaranteed limits across every frequency or condition. Confirm frequency-dependent performance, current requirements, die dimensions and the supplied revision for your intended RF hardware.
Representative models across three frequency bands.

Questions before specifying low-noise amplifier die.
What delivery form do these nine models use?
These models are GaAs pHEMT MMIC low-noise amplifiers in bare-die form. Specify the exact model and die requirements in your inquiry. For connectorized hardware, review the separate RF low-noise amplifier module range.
How should I compare the typical specifications?
Compare values using the reference mode shown in each row. The table uses a +5 V supply reference and a 50 Ω electrical test system. Typical figures are indicative; request frequency-dependent performance and the applicable specification for the conditions used in your project.
How do I choose between models with overlapping bands?
Start with the actual frequencies your hardware must cover, then compare typical gain, noise figure, output P1dB, DC requirements and die dimensions. Include your performance targets and acceptance conditions when requesting a model recommendation or quotation.
What should I include in an OEM die inquiry?
Include the KDA model or required frequency band, RF performance targets, reference operating mode, DC and dimensional constraints, evaluation or order quantity, destination and timeline. State the model documentation and delivery packaging information your team needs.
