Product Description
NGA-586
Stanford Microdevices NGA-586 is a high performance InGaP/
GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC Amplifier& A
Darlington configuration designed with InGaP process
technology provides broadband performance up to 5&5 GHz with
excellent thermal perfomance& The heterojunction increases
breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between
junctions& Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results
in higher suppression of intermodulation products& At 850 Mhz
and 80mA , the NGA-586 typically provides +39&6 dBm output
IP3, 19&8 dB of gain, and +18&9 dBm of 1dB compressed
power using a single positive voltage supply& Only 2 DC-
blocking capacitors, a bias resistor and an optional RF choke
are required for operation&
