Gain Block Amplifiers

Avago Technologies’ 2-6 GHz High Linearity Gain Block: MGA-30789 is a broadband, high linearity gain block MMIC amplifier achieved through the use of Avago Technologies' propietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.

Avago Technologies’ new Broadband High Linearity InGaP HBT Gain Blocks: AVT-51663/AVT-53663 are economical, easy-to-use, general purpose InGaP HBT MMIC gain block amplifiers utilizing Darlington pair configuration housed in a 6-lead (SOT-363) surface mount plastic package.

The AVT-51663 and AVT-53663 are ideal devices for small-signal gain cascades or IF amplification.
