CHA3666-FAA 6-16GHz Low Noise Amplifier GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC in SMD package Description The CHA3666-FAA is a two-stage self-biased wide band monolithic low noise amplifier. The circuit is manufactured with a standard pHEMT process: 0.25µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. It is proposed in leadless surface mount hermetic metal ceramic 6x6mm² package. The overall power supply is of 4V/80mA. The circuit is dedicated to space applications and also well suited for a wide range of microwave and millimetre wave applications and systems.
