Microstrip Package
designed for use as a general
purpose 50
Ω
gain block. Typical
applications include narrow and
broad band IF and RF amplifiers
in industrial and military applica-
tions.
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz f

, 25 GHz f
MAX
,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
Available in cut lead version
(package 36) as MSA-0336.
