Description  
The A37 RF amplifier is a discrete thin film hybrid design,  
which incorporates the use of thin film manufacturing  
processes for accurate performance and high reliability.  
This single stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier design  
displays impressive performance over a broadband frequency  
range. An
 
active DC biasing network is used for  
temperature-stable performance, in addition to an RF Choke,  
used for power supply decoupling.  
Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically  
sealed,  
and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available
.
