SPA-1218 is a 1960MHz 1 watt power amplifier produced by Stanford Microdevices. The device uses high-reliability GaAs HBT technology and has high linearity performance, with a maximum of +48dBm OIP3. SPA-1218 uses low-cost surface-mountable plastic packaging and is suitable for PCS systems and multi-carrier applications.
SPA-1218 1960 MHz 1 Watt Power Amp with Active Bias is a high efficiency GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) amplifier housed in a low-cost surface-mountable plastic package.
SLN-186 is a high performance gallium arsenide heterojunction bipolar transistor MMIC from Stanford Microdevices. It is housed in a low-cost surface mount plastic package and has a Darlington configuration for broadband performance from DC-4.0 GHz. The SLN-186 needs only 2 DC-blocking capacitors and a bias resistor for operation. Noise figure may be optimized by using 2-element matching at the input to yield <2.0dB noise figure. This 50 Ohm LNA requires only a single supply voltage and draws only 8mA. For broadband applications, it may be biased at 6mA with minimal effect on noise figure and gain. The SLN-186 is available in tape and reel at 1000, 3000 and 5000 devices per reel.
