BG18A
5-4000 MHz Cascadable InGaP HBT Gain Block
Device Features
 OIP3 = 32.5 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 Gain = 15.1 dB @ 1900 MHz
 Output P1 dB = 18.9 dBm @ 1900 MHz
 50 Ω Cascadable
 Patented temperature compensation
 Patented Over Voltage Protection Circuit
 Lead-free/RoHS-compliant SOT-89 SMT package
Product Description
BeRex’s BG18A 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 and a patented over volt-
age protection circuit to protect a internal
device. The BG18A is designed for high line-
arity gain block applications that require
excellent gain flatness. It is packaged in a
RoHS-compliant with SOT-89 surface mount
package.
Applications
 Base station Infrastructure/RFID
 Commercial/Industrial/Military wireless system
