COMPACT AMPLIFIERS AND MIXERS SCORE HIGH LINEARILY

GaAs foundry capabilities at Watkins-Johnson Co, (Pale Alto, CA) have been some of the best-kept secrets in the high-frequency industry for many sears, Once reserved for high-performance military components, th ese capabilities are now focused on the needs of commercial applicatio ns, such as cellular and personal-communications-services (PCS) system s, Some of the firm's latest offerings, such as the model AH1 wideband amplifier and the HMJ1 and HMJ2 GaAs field-effect-transistor (FET) mi xers, are typical examples of these considerable capabilities.
