Preliminary
Product Description
SXA-289
Sirenza Microdevices’ SXA-289 amplifier is a high
efficiency GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
MMIC housed in low-cost surface-mountable plastic
package. These HBT MMICs are fabricated using molecular
beam epitaxial growth technology which produces reliable
and consistent performance from wafer to wafer and lot to
lot.
5-2000 MHz Medium Power
GaAs HBT Amplifier
These amplifiers are specially designed for use as driver
devices for infrastructure equipment in the 5-2000 MHz
cellular, ISM, WLL and narrowband PCS applications.
Product Features
• Patented High Reliability GaAs HBT Technology
• High Output 3rd Order Intercept : +41.5 dBm
Its high linearity makes it an ideal choice for multi-carrier as
well as digital applications.
