MGA-64135

The MGA-64135 is a high performance gallium arsenide Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a cost effective, microstrip package. MGA-64135 is designed for use as a general purpose 50 ohm gain block in the 2 to 6ÊGHz frequency range. Typical applications include narrow and broadband IF and RF amplifiers for commercial, industrial, and military requirements.

This MGA-64135 MMIC is a cascade of two stages, each utilizing shunt feedback to establish a broadband impedance match. The source of each stage is AC grounded to allow biasing from a single positive power supply. The interstage blocking capacitor as well as a resistive "self-bias" network are included on chip. The die is fabricated using HP's nominal .5 micron recessed Schottky-barrier-gate, gold metallization and silicon nitride passivation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability.
