The MRFIC2404 is a single–stage class A GaAs amplifier in a low–cost 8 lead plastic package designed to drive the MRFIC2403 power amplifier for use in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz Industrial–Scientific–Medical (ISM) band. The design is optimized for 5.0 Volt operation at 2.45 GHz but is usable from 2.0 to 3.0 GHz in applications such as telemetry and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) wireless cable TV systems. Performance is suitable for frequency hopping or direct sequence spread spectrum as well as single–frequency applications.
