Description

The AM42-0007-DIE is a three stage MMIC linear

power amplifier fabricated on a mature 0.5 micron

MBE based GaAs process.

The AM42-0007-DIE

employs a fully

matched chip with integral bias

networks and output power detector.

This GaAs MMIC power amplifier is ideally suited for

used as an output stage or driver in applications for

VSAT applications.
