GaAs FET AMPLIFIER  
Description  
The PA512 0.5 watt RF power amplifier is a discrete  
hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing  
processes for accurate performance and high reliability.  
This 2 stage GaAs FET transistor design uses a feedback  
loop for flat broadband performance.
 
An active DC biasing  
network insures temperature-stable performance
.  
MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available
.
