wireless infrastructure applications such as Cellular
Base Stations, MMDS, and WLL. Offered in a low
cost SOT-89 surface mount package, the AGB3301
requires a single +5V to +9V supply, and typically
consumes less than 1 Watt of power.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AGB3301 is one of a series of GaAs MESFET
amplifiers designed for use in applications
requiring high linearity, low noise and low distortion.
With a high output IP3, low noise figure and wide
band operation, the AGB3301 is ideal for 50W
