LINEARITY: <± 2.5O, 100-1500 MHz
• LOW VSWR:<1.4:1 (TYP.)
Description
The A24 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses
thin film manufacturing processes for consistent performance
and high reliability.
This 2 stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier design
displays impressive performance over a broadband frequency
range. An active DC biasing network insures temperaturestable performance.
Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically
sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available
