Device Overview

General Description

The AKA-1310 is a low-cost cascadable broadband InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier. This is a general-purpose gain block amplifier which provides excellent gain flatness below 6 GHz, high P1dB, high OIP3, and a very small die size. The simple application circuit requires minimal external components, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. It is available in bare die form.
