gain block.
Typical applications include
narrow and broad band IF and RF
amplifiers in industrial and
military applications.

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.
