A low noise amplifier (LNA) is an electronic device specifically designed to amplify extremely weak signals while introducing as little additional noise as possible. It is frequently employed in communication systems to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of incoming signals.
The primary types of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) include discrete LNAs, integrated LNAs, and microelectronic LNAs. Discrete LNAs are standalone components engineered to amplify weak signals with minimal noise, making them ideal for high-sensitivity applications such as RF and microwave systems. These amplifiers operate across various frequency ranges, including DC to 6 GHz, 6 GHz to 60 GHz, and above 60 GHz. They are developed using a range of semiconductor technologies, such as silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), and silicon germanium (SiGe). LNAs are commonly deployed in applications like cellular infrastructure, broadband networks, GPS systems, ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) bands, and wireless local area networks (WLAN). Key end users include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), contract manufacturers, telecom companies, and research institutions.

This low-noise amplifier market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The low noise amplifier market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.66 billion in 2024 to $4.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for smartphones and wireless devices, rising investments in satellite communication systems, expanded deployment of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled technologies, the surge in mobile network data traffic, and heightened interest in low-power Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks.
The low noise amplifier market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding penetration of 4G and emerging 5G networks, rising demand for energy-efficient communication components, the increasing trend of satellite internet services (particularly LEO satellites), the growing deployment of smart city infrastructure, and a stronger emphasis on miniaturized, energy-efficient RF components. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of technologies in 5G and 6G communication systems, the uptake of advanced radar low noise amplifiers in developing economies, integration with millimeter-wave transceivers, advancements in ultra-low-noise design methodologies, and the incorporation of LNAs into automotive radar systems.
The rapid expansion of 5G networks is anticipated to drive the growth of the low-noise amplifier (LNA) market in the coming years. 5G networks represent the fifth generation of wireless communication technology, offering significantly faster data speeds, reduced latency, and improved connectivity compared to earlier generations. This expansion is being fueled by the rising number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require fast, reliable, and low-latency connections. Low-noise amplifiers support 5G deployment by enhancing weak incoming signals while introducing minimal noise, thereby improving overall signal quality and network performance. For example, according to the 2024 Ericsson Mobility Report from Sweden, 5G is expected to account for 34% of mobile data traffic by the end of 2024, up from 25% in 2023. As a result, the continued rollout of 5G networks is a key driver for the low-noise amplifier market.
Leading companies in the low-noise amplifier market are concentrating on developing cutting-edge technologies like E-band low-noise amplifiers to optimize signal performance at high frequencies and minimize noise in 5G and satellite communications. E-band LNAs are specialized amplifiers designed to operate in the 60-90 GHz frequency range, where they amplify weak signals while maintaining low noise levels, thus ensuring clearer communication. For instance, in May 2024, Altum RF, a semiconductor company based in the Netherlands, launched the ARF1206 E-band low-noise amplifier aimed at high-frequency applications. This device serves markets such as telecommunications, automotive radar, and test & measurement. It provides a typical gain of 20-22 dB and a low noise figure ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 dB across the 71 to 86 GHz band. The amplifier is pre-matched to 50 Ω, includes integrated ESD protection, and operates on a single 4V power supply, simplifying integration into complex systems.
In November 2023, Ametek, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of electronic instruments, acquired AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation for $105 million. This acquisition is intended to bolster Ametek's capabilities in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and broaden its solutions portfolio for high-growth markets such as electric vehicle testing and defense communications. AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation, a U.S.-based company, is a manufacturer of low-noise amplifiers.
