All active circuitry in the module is contained in a single
Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC). The device is
fabricated using Skyworks high reliability Aluminum (Al) Gallium
Arsenide (GaAs) Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process,
which allows for single supply operation while maintaining high
efficiency and good linearity.
Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.
