RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official BeRex Corp documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the received components match the SOT-89-3 package type and marking. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical characteristics or recommended operating conditions prior to integration into final designs.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select the BG18D when a cascadeable gain block is required for frequencies up to 4GHz. Consider its 19dBm P1dB output power for linearity requirements. Evaluate the 4.3dB noise figure for low-noise front-end applications. Ensure the design accommodates the SOT-89-3 footprint and thermal management needs for continuous operation.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The BG18D belongs to the BeRex Corp RF amplifier family, specifically utilizing InGaP HBT technology. It serves as a gain block suitable for various wireless communication systems. The component is distinct from other BeRex models like the BGH5 or BD0926 by its specific frequency range and cascadeable architecture.
