A26/SMA26 Cascadable Amplifier 10 to 1500 MHz Rev. V5 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 ** ** The connectorized version is not RoHs compliant.
