Typical Applications
• Narrow and Broadband Commercial and
Military Radio Designs
• Linear and Saturated Amplifiers
Product Description
The NLB-310 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC
amplifier is a low-cost, high-performance solution for gen-
eral purpose RF and microwave amplification needs. This
50Ω gain block is based on a reliable HBT proprietary
MMIC design, providing unsurpassed performance for
small-signal applications. Designed with an external bias
resistor, the NLB-310 provides flexibility and stability. The
NLB-310 is packaged in a low-cost, surface-mount plastic
package, providing ease of assembly for high-volume
tape-and-reel requirements.
