Rev. 3, 9/2014
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
Technology (InGaP HBT)
Broadband High Linearity Amplifier
The MMG3H21NT1 is a general purpose amplifier that is internally input
matched and internally output matched. It is designed for a broad range of
Class A, small--signal, high linearity, general purpose applications. It is
suitable for applications with frequencies from 0 to 6000 MHz such as
cellular, PCS, BWA, WLL, PHS, CATV, VHF, UHF, UMTS and general
small--signal RF.
