Product Description
The AG602-86 is a general-purpose buffer amplifier that
offers high dynamic range in a low-cost surface-mount
package. At 900 MHz, the AG602-86 typically provides 14
dB of gain, +33.5 dBm Output IP3, and +19 dBm P1dB.
The device combines dependable performance with
consistent quality to maintain MTBF values exceeding 100
years at mounting temperatures of +85° C and is housed in
a SOT-86 industry-standard SMT package.
The AG602-86 consists of Darlington pair amplifiers using
the high reliability InGaP/GaAs HBT technology process
technology and only requires DC-blocking capacitors, a
bias resistor, and an inductive RF choke for operation.
The broadband MMIC amplifier can be directly applied to
various current and next generation wireless technologies
such as GPRS, GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA. In addition,
the AG602-86 will work for other various applications
within the DC to 6 GHz frequency range such as CATV
and fixed wireless.

The proper value for R1 is dependent upon the supply
voltage and allows for bias stability over temperature.
WJ recommends a minimum supply bias of +6 V. A
1% tolerance resistor is recommended.
