Vd2
Vd3,4
The CHA2294 is a high gain
four-stage
monolithic low noise amplifier with variable gain.
It is designed for a wide range of applications,
from military to commercial communication
systems.The backside of the chip is both RF and
DC grounded. This helps simplify the assembly
process.
IN
OUT
The circuit is manufactured with a PM-HEMT
process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through
the substrate, air bridges and electron beam
gate lithography.
