NLB-400

Cascadable Broadband GaAs MMIC Amplifier

DC to 6GHz

The NLB-400 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC amplifier is a

low-cost, high-performance solution for general 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 NLB-400 provides flexibility and stability. The NLB-

400 is packaged in a low cost, surface-mount plastic package,

providing ease of assembly for high-volume tape-and-reel

requirements.
