Product Description
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. 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.
