Description
The EC-1078 is a high reliability, high linearity, low cost broadband amplifier, optimized for commercial communications.
The device is manufactured using in-house developed advanced Indium Gallium Phosphide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
(InGaP HBT) technology and is designed for use as a 50 Ohm gain block. The amplifier features excellent VSWR, low noise
figure and highly linear performance. Typical OIP3 is +37dBm at 1000MHz. The EC-1078 operates from a single voltage
supply and requires only two DC-blocking capacitors, a bias resistor and an inductor for operation. The device is ideal for
wireless applications and is available in low cost, surface-mountable plastic SOT-89 and Micro-X packages.
