Cascadable Amplifier 5 to 300 MHz A88-1/ SMA88-1 V2 Features • • • • Product Image AVAILABLE IN SURFACE MOUNT HIGH GAIN 18.5 dB (TYP.) HIGH OUTPUT POWER +18.5 dBm (TYP.) HIGH THIRD ORDER IP +30 dBm (TYP.) Description The A88-1 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 temperaturestable 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.
