Product Description
SNA-586
Stanford Microdevices’SNA-586 is a high performance Gallium
Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC Amplifier. A
Darlington configuration is utilized for broadband performance
up to 5 GHz. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage
and minimizes leakage current between junctions. Cancellation
of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher suppression of
intermodulation products. Typical IP3 at 850 MHz with 65mA is
32.5 dBm.
DC-5 GHz, Cascadable
GaAs HBT MMIC Amplifier
NGA-586 Recommended for New Designs
These unconditionally stable amplifiers provide 18 dB of gain and
18.4 dBm of 1dB compressed power and require only a single
positive voltage supply. Only 2 DC-blocking capacitors, a bias
resistor and an optional inductor are needed for operation. This
MMIC is an ideal choice for wireless applications such as
cellular, PCS, CDPD, wireless data and SONET.
