BG17A
5-4000 MHz Cascadable InGaP HBT Gain Block
Device Features
 OIP3 = 33 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 Gain = 17 dB @ 1900 MHz
 Output P1 dB = 19.2 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 50 Ω Cascadable

Product Description
BeRex’s BG17A is a high performance InGaP/
GaAs HBT MMIC amplifier, internally
matched to 50 Ohms and uses a patented
temperature compensation circuit to pro-
vide stable current over the operating tem-
perature range without the need for exter-
nal components. The BG17A is designed for
high linearity gain block applications that
require excellent gain flatness. It is packaged
in a RoHS-compliant with SOT-89 surface
mount package.
