The LONAMOS is a Low Noise Amplifier specifically designed for CODALEMA and is inherent to the radiators developed to form the active dipole antennas.

It is the successor of the CODALAMP ASIC designed at SUBATECH in 2004, using the AMS BiCMOS 0.8 micron technology. The LONAMOS was designed in 2011 and produced in 2012 for the CODALEMA extension. This new LNA exhibits a strong IIP3 improvement and usually a front end low order FM notch filter is added on the LNA board.

The LONAMOS chip is used in the autonomous stations, in the compact array, in the EXTASIS antenna of CODALEMA, in the TREND experiment and more recently in all the antennas of the NenuFAR radio telescope.
