Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifiers Technical Data
MSA-0435, -0436
Features
• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 3.8 GHz • 12.5 dBm Typical P1 dB at 1.0␣ GHz • 8.5 dB Typical Gain at 1.0␣ GHz • Unconditionally Stable (k>1) • Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package
designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications. The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
