Industry-Leading Performance

Amplifier phase noise is a significant contributor to transceiver phase noise performance and many designers are increasingly looking for phase noise specifications before choosing an amplifier for their systems. Mini-Circuits’ engineering team has a deep understanding of phase noise and its sources, as well as the inherent challenges of measuring phase noise accurately. The company has invested in state-of-the-art measurement capability to provide reliable data to customers for our MMIC amplifier portfolio.

Phase noise specs for many of our popular amplifier models are shown below with more models currently being characterized. If you’re interested in phase noise specs for a specific model you don’t see here, please fill out the form below.
