RF3816
CASCADABLE BROADBAND
GaAs MMIC AMPLIFIER DC TO 6GHz
• Cellular Basestation Amplifiers and
Transceivers
• Gain Stage or Driver Amplifiers for Linear and
Saturated Amplifiers
• Narrow and Broadband Commercial and
Military Radio Designs
The RF3816 is a high-performance InGaP/GaAs general
purpose RF and microwave gain block amplifier. This
50
Ω amplifier is based on a reliable HBT MMIC design,
providing unsurpassed performance for many small-sig-
nal applications. Designed with an external bias resistor,
the RF3816 provides high output power and high gain
over broad frequency range. This low-cost amplifier is
packaged in a thermally efficient, industry standard,
ceramic Micro-X package providing excellent ThetaJC
performance.
