CHA3218-99F
RoHS COMPLIANT
2-18GHz Low Noise Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA3218-99F is a two stage very wide
band Low Noise Amplifier.
Vg1
Vg2
Vd1
Vd2
The wide frequency band associated to a 2dB
low noise figure makes this circuit very
versatile for very high performance systems.
It is designed for a wide range of applications,
from military to commercial communication
systems.
IN
