Description
The A18-1 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design,
which uses thin film manufacturing processes for
accurate performance and high reliability. This single
stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays
impressive performance characteristics over
a
broadband frequency range.
An RF choke is used
for DC power supply decoupling. Both TO-8 and
surface mount packages are hermetically sealed,
and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is
available.
