A24 / SMA24 Cascadable Amplifier 5 to 1500 MHz Rev. V3 Features Product Image • HIGH GAIN - TWO STAGES: 20.0 dB (TYP.) • ULTRA LOW PHASE DEVIATION FROM LINEARITY: <± 2.5O, 100-1500 MHz • LOW VSWR:<1.4:1 (TYP.) Description The A24 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 temperaturestable performance. Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
