HF amplifier modules BGY148A; BGY148B
FEATURES
• Single 6 V nominal supply voltage
• 3 W output power
• Easy control of output power by DC voltage
• Silicon bipolar technology
• Standby current less than 100 µA.
APPLICATIONS
• Portable communication equipment operating in the
400 to 440 MHz and 430 to 488 MHz frequency ranges
respectively.
DESCRIPTION
The BGY148A and BGY148B are three-stage UHF
amplifier modules in a SOT421A package. Each module
consists of three NPN silicon planar transistor dies
mounted together with matching and bias circuit
components on a metallized ceramic substrate. The
modules produce an output power of 3 W into a load of
50 Ω with an RF drive power of 10 mW.

Note
1. In order to control the mounting-base temperature, proper heatsinking of the underside of the device is required.
It is therefore advisable that the device is mounted on a printed-circuit board with metallized through holes.
