Critical Features

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.

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

Customer's needs Spectrum's LCA MMIC's
Never Obsolete End-of-life / next generation forces system redesign.
True 50 Ohm Match Additional components means additional design time and Real Estate.
Guaranteed -55°C to +85°C Always typical values
Superior Phase Noise Not even considered.
No External Components Needed Blocking caps are just the beginning...
