Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SBA-5089 is a high performance InGaP/
GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor MMIC Amplifier. A
Darlington configuration designed with InGaP process technology
provides broadband performance up to 5 GHz with excellent
thermal perfomance. The heterojunction increases breakdown
voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions.
Cancellation of emitter junction non-linearities results in higher
suppression of intermodulation products. Only a single positive
supply voltage, DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor, and an
optional RF choke are required for operation.
