ATEK MIDAS Released New MMIC Amplifiers
The company introduced a series of broadband low noise MMIC amplifiers designed for versatile radio frequency applications.
Updated on Oct. 12, 2026 in Semiconductors
ATEK MIDAS has launched a new line of broadband low noise MMIC amplifiers supporting frequency ranges from VHF through X-Band. The company showcased these latest radio frequency components at the 2026 European Microwave Week (EuMW).
Why it matters
These amplifiers offer engineers flexible options for signal amplification across broad spectral ranges. Designers can cascade the components to achieve higher gain or extended frequency coverage in their systems.
The ATEK150P3 provides 21 dB of gain with 50 Ω internal matching in a 3 mm × 3 mm package. Additionally, the ATEK175BP3 achieves a 0.7 dB noise figure for frequencies up to 3 GHz.
