Generally most equivalents listed above can be used, but can have slightly different performance curves due to

the different packaging of the devices. Mini-Circuits types like the RAM / VAM, are different package types of the

MAR types. Eg RAM-1 = MAR-1. Mini-Circuits GAL types have now been renamed Gali. The New Gali types seem

to be a low cost SOT- 89 package of the ERA types. Suggested Amplifier Models & Applications show the

commonly available packaged devices, & are recommended for general purpose Amateur Radio use.

TYPICAL BIASING CONFIGURATION

MSA = Monolithic Silicon Amp

MMIC= Monolithic Microwave

Integrated Circuit

R bias = Vcc - Vd

I bias

Vcc = The supply Voltage

Vd = The Device Voltage

I bias = The Bias Current In mA ( ImA )

P Watts = V x I

P Watts = Power Rating Of R bias

V = Volts across R bias

I = Current Through R bias

C block: Determines the low frequency cut off of the amplifier circuit. The Capacitors value is chosen to suit the frequency that the amplifier

circuit is going to be used for. On frequencies above 2.4GHz ATC Porcelain Chip Capacitors are normally used for low loss. On 10GHz &

higher, ¼ wave stripline couplers are commonly used for low loss.

100MHz ( 1nF )

400MHz ( 100pF )

1.2GHz ( 10pF )

2.5GHz ( 5pF )

10GHz ( 1 - 2pF )

RFC (Optional): Is used to isolate the bias resistor so that it does not appear in parallel with the output load of the amplifier, degrading the output

match of the amplifier. The impedance of the choke at the lowest frequency of operation of the amplifier plus the value of the bias resistor should

be at least 500ohms

100MHz ( 10uH choke )

400MHz ( 3 turns 0.315mm TCW on a FB-43-101 ferrite bead )

1.2GHz ( 100uH SMD choke or, 6 turns 0.315mm ECW 3mm dia closewound airspaced )

2.4GHz ( 47uH SMD choke or 1/4wave Striplines on the PC board )

>2.4GHz ( 1/4Wave Striplines on the PC Board )

C bypass: A Capacitor should be used in conjunction with the RFC to present a low impedance path to ground for any signal that manages to get

past the RFC. The Capacitor should be connected at the junction of the R bias resistor & the RFC to ground. On 2.4GHz or higher ATC

Porcelain Capacitors or similar may be required for effective bypassing.

100MHz ( 1nF )

400MHz ( 100pF )

1.2GHz ( 10pF )

> 2.4GHz 5 to 10pF ATC Chip Capacitor

& or a Microstrip Radial Line Stub

Powersupply Bypassing: Suitable Capacitors should be used on the Vcc rail to effectively bypass low & high frequencies.

Suggested Values
