Ceramic substrate to enable both high volume and hybrid processes Superior CuMo heatsink provides optimum thermal performance Ten J-leads provide stress relief and enhanced grounding for improved signal integrity Semiconductor is eutectically bonded to a copper carrier for optimum heat transfer

Guaranteed High Performance for Higher Volume Applications

  • Custom frequencies to 4000 MHz
  • Output Power to 2 watts
  • Noise figures as low as 0.9 dB
  • No external biasing or RF matching circuits needed
  • Available in tape and reel
  • Perfect drop-in gain solution for Integrated Assemblies

Lower Cost Amplifiers

This package option not only helps keep costs down, but on Higher Power requirements the transistor is bonded right to the Aluminum Nitride heat spreader for cooler operating temperatures.

When your amplifier requirements are for 100 units or more, we offer cost effective package options that combine savings and high performance in our product. Spectrum Microwave has a large selection of both standard and custom higher volume designs, offering both exceptional value and outstanding performance.

Compared to MMICs, our LCA design is the clear choice.
