AGILENT MSA-2011

Silicon Bipolar RFIC Amplifiers
Technical Data
MSA-20XX Series
Features
Description
MSA-2011
The MSA-20XX series are high
performance silicon bipolar RFIC
amplifiers designed to be
cascadable in 50 Ω systems. The
stability factor of K > 1 contributes
to easy cascading in numerous
narrow and broadband IF and RF
commercial and industrial
applications.
MSA-2011
• Surface Mount SOT-143
Package
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 1.0 GHz
• 16.2 dB Gain at 1 GHz
• 4.3 dB NF at 1 GHz
MSA-2035
MSA-2035
• Hermetic Ceramic Package
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 1.1 GHz
• 17.3 dB Gain at 1 GHz
• 3.7 dB NF at 1 GHz
MSA-2085
The MSA series is fabricated using
a 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz FMAX, silicon
bipolar RFIC process which
utilizes nitride self-alignment, ion
implantation, and gold
metallization to achieve excellent
uniformity, performance, and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
MSA-2085
• Plastic Microstrip Package
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 1.1 GHz
• 16.6 dB Gain at 1 GHz
• 3.7 dB NF at 1 GHz
MSA-2086
• Surface Mount Plastic
Microstrip Package
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 1.1 GHz
• 16.6 dB Gain at 1 GHz
• 3.7 dB NF at 1 GHz
5965-9560E
Package options include the
industry standard plastic surface
mount SOT-143 package, the
100␣ mil surface mountable
hermetic ceramic package, the
85␣ mil plastic microstripline
package, and the 85 mil surface
mountable plastic microstripline
package.
