CHA2066
RoHS COMPLIANT
10-16GHz Low Noise Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA2066 is a two-stage wide band
monolithic low noise amplifier.
The circuit is manufactured with a standard
HEMT process : 0.25µm gate length, via
holes through the substrate, air bridges and
electron beam gate lithography.
It is supplied in chip form.

(1) These values are representative of on-wafer measurements that are made without bonding wires at
the RF ports. When the chip is attached with typical 0.3nH input and output bonding wires, the indicated
parameter values should be improved.
(2) This current is the typical value from the low noise low consumption biasing ( B & D grounded ).
