Cascadable Amplifier 10 to 1500 MHz A26 / SMA26 V4 Features Product Image • HIGH GAIN - TWO STAGES: 20.5 dB (TYP.) • HIGH OUTPUT LEVEL: +15 dBm (TYP.) • LOW VSWR: <1.4:1 (TYP.) Description The A26 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 temperature-stable performance. Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available Ordering Information Part Number Package A26 TO-8 SMA26 Surface Mount CA26 SMA Connectorized Electrical Specifications: Z0 = 50Ω Ω, VCC = +15 VDC Typical Parameter Frequency Absolute Maximum Ratings Guaranteed Absolute Maximum MHz 25ºC 0º to 50ºC -54º to +85ºC* Storage Temperature -62ºC to +125ºC 10-1600 10-1500 10-1500 Case Temperature +125ºC DC Voltage +17 V Continuous Input Power +10 dBm Short Term Input power (1 minute max.) 100 mW Peak Power (3 µsec max.) 0.5 W “S” Series Burn-In Temperature (case) +125ºC Small Signal Gain (min) dB 20.5 19.0 18.5 Gain Flatness (max) dB ±0.4 ±0.6 ±0.8 Reverse Isolation dB 28 Noise Figure (max) dB 5.0 5.5 6.0 Power Output @ 1 dB comp.
