Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices SNA-186 is a GaAs monolithic broad-
band amplifier (MMIC) housed in a low-cost surface-mount-
able plastic package. At 1950 MHz, this amplifier provides 12dB
of gain and +13dBm of P1dB power when biased at 50mA.
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.
