NGA-486
Product Description
DC-5 GHz, Cascadable
Sirenza Microdevices NGA-486 is a high performance InGaP/
GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC Amplifierꢀ A
Darlington configuration designed with InGaP process
technology provides broadband performance up to 5 GHz with
excellent thermal perfomanceꢀ The heterojunction increases
breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between
junctionsꢀ Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results
in higher suppression of intermodulation productsꢀ At 850 Mhz
and 80mA , the NGA-486 typically provides +39ꢀ5 dBm output
IP3, 14ꢀ8 dB of gain, and +19 dBm of 1dB compressed power
using a single positive voltage supplyꢀ Only 2 DC-blocking
capacitors, a bias resistor and an optional RF choke are required
for operationꢀ
