Product Description
Stanford Microdevices’ SXL Series are high performance
GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMICs
housed in low-cost surface-mountable plastic packages.
These HBT MMICs are fabricated using molecular beam
epitaxial growth technology which produces reliable and
consistent performance from wafer to wafer and lot to lot.
These amplifiers are specially designed for use as driver
devices for infrastructure equipment in the 800-940 MHz
cellular, ISM and narrowband PCS.
Its high linearity make it an ideal choice for multi-carrier as
well as digital applications.
