NBB-402
0
RoHS Compliant & Pb-Free Product
Typical Applications
• Narrow and Broadband Commercial and
Military Radio Designs
• Linear and Saturated Amplifiers
Product Description
The NBB-402 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC
amplifier is a low-cost, high-performance solution for gen-
eral purpose RF and microwave amplification needs. This
50
Ω
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 NBB-402 provides flexibility and stability. The
NBB-402 is packaged in a low-cost, surface-mount
ceramic package, providing ease of assembly for high-
volume tape-and-reel requirements.
