This MMIC is suited for Satellite Communications, Microwave radios, Instrumentation, Wideband Systems and also many commercial wireless applications where low-noise figure with high-gain is desirable. It has excellent gain (17 dB) and Noise Figure (1.4 dB, mid-band) over a broad frequency range. Typical P-1dB is 16 dBm and OIP3 is +27dBm @ 6 GHz. It has on-chip bias circuit, choke and DC blocking to provide bias stability and ease of use. The 2nd Gate voltage input can be used for gain control if necessary. Available in 4x4mm, 24 Lead Ceramic SMT Package.
