PRELIMINARY

BCL016B

SUPER LOW NOISE PHEMT CHIP (.15µm x 160µm)

The BeRex BCL016B is a GaAs super low noise pHEMT with a nominal 0.15 micron gate length and 160 micron gate

width making the product ideally suited for applications requiring very low noise and high associated gain. The

BCL016B offers high insertion gain and a low noise figure for broadband applications. The BCL016B is produced
