NLB-300
CASCADABLE BROADBAND
GaAs MMIC AMPLIFIER DC TO 10GHz
• Narrow and Broadband Commercial and
Military Radio Designs
• Linear and Saturated Amplifiers
• Gain Stage or Driver Amplifiers for
MWRadio/Optical Des igns (PTP/PMP/
LMDS/UNII/VSAT/WLAN/Cellular/DWDM)
The NLB-300 casc adable broadband InGaP/G aAs MMIC
amplifier is a low-cost, high-perf ormance solution for gen-
eral purpose RF and micro wa ve amplifi cat ion ne eds . This
50Ω gain block is based on a reliable HBT proprietary
MMIC design, providing unsurpassed performance for
small-signal applications. Designed with an external bias
resistor, the NLB-300 provides flexibility and stability. The
NLB-300 is packaged in a low-cost, surf ace-mount plastic
package, providing ease of assembly for high-volume
tape-and-reel requirements.
• Reliable, Low-Cost HBT Design
• 13.0dB Gain, +11.1dBm P1dB@2GHz
• High P1dB of +14.1dBm@6.0GHz and
+12.7dBm@10.0GHz
• Single Power Supply Operation
•50Ω I/O Matched for High Freq. Use
