The combination of high OIP3 and tight gain variation window makes it attractive for a multitude of applications. The device combines dependable performance with superb quality to maintain MTTF values exceeding 1000 years at mounting temperatures of +85°C and is available in both the standard SOT-89 package and the environmentally-friendly lead-free/green/RoHS-compliant and green SOT-89 package. All devices are 100% RF & DC tested. The AG103 uses a high reliability GaAs MMIC technology and only requires DC-blocking and bypass capacitors, and an inductive RF choke for operation. Internal matching provides a 50 ohm input / output impedance minimizing the number of required external components. The AG103 GaAs MMIC amplifier is well suited for wireless infrastructure such as NMT-450, homeland security, and 2nd generation mobile infrastructure utilizing the cellular band. In addition, the amplifier can be used for applications in various IF frequency bands.
