SNA-176 Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – DC-10 GHZ CASCADABLE GAAS MMIC AMPLIFIER

Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SNA-176 is a GaAs monolithic
broadband amplifier (MMIC) housed in a low-cost surface
mountable stripline package. At 1950 MHz, this amplifier
provides 12dB of gain when biased at 50mA.
SNA-176
DC-10 GHz, Cascadable
GaAs MMIC Amplifier
External DC decoupling capacitors determine low frequency
response. The use of an external resistor allows for bias
flexibility and stability.
These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed for use
as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks. Also available in
chip form (SNA-100), its small size (0.33mm x 0.33mm)
and gold metallization makes it an ideal choice for use in
hybrid circuits.
