MGA86576

1.5 – 8 GHz Low Noise GaAs MMIC Amplifier Technical Data MGA-86576 Features 1.6 dB Noise Figure at 4 GHz 23 dB Gain at 4 GHz +6 dBm P1dB at 4 GHz Single +5 V Bias Supply Surface Mount Ceramic Package Description Hewlett-Packard’s MGA-86576 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC amplifier that offers low noise and excellent gain for applications from 1.5 to 8 GHz. The MGA-86576 may be used without impedance matching as a high performance 2 dB NF gain block. Alternatively, with the addition of a simple series inductor at the input, the device noise figure can be reduced to 1.6␣ dB at 4 GHz. The circuit uses state-of-the-art PHEMT technology with selfbiasing current sources, a sourcefollower interstage, resistive feedback, and on chip impedance matching networks. A patented, on-chip active bias circuit allows operation from a single +5 V power supply. Current consumption is only 16 mA. These devices are 100% RF tested to assure consistent performance.
