100+ Unique Models Designed In-House

Mini-Circuits offers one of the industry's largest selections of heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) MMIC amplifiers, designed and packaged in house. HBTs offer outstanding wideband performance, and exceptional additive phase noise (1/f noise) performance as low as -173 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from the carrier.

Below is a summary of the models currently available from stock. To view bare die versions of these parts on our website, add the "-DG" suffix before the "+" in the part number in the model search. Click here for more information on phase noise measurement and specifications.
