DESCRIPTION
The TC3873 is a prematched GaAs PHEMT hybrid device. It is designed for use in low cost, high
volume, and 5.25~5.875 GHz 3W amplifiers. It provides a typical gain of 11dB and P1dB of
34.5dBm. The device is packed in a copper based ceramic 10 pins SMT packages. The copper based
carrier of the package allows direct soldering of the device to the PCB..
