Product Description
The NLB-310 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC amplifier is a low-
cost, high-performance solution for general purpose RF and microwave
amplification needs. This 50Ω gain block is based on a reliable HBT pro-
prietary MMIC design, providing unsurpassed performance for small-sig-
nal applications. Designed with an external bias resistor, the NLB-310
provides flexibility and stability. The NLB-310 is packaged in a low-cost,
surface-mount plastic package, providing ease of assembly for high-vol-
ume tape-and-reel requirements.
