NOISE FIGURE: 5 dB (TYP.)
HIGH THIRD ORDER IP: +38 dBM (TYP.)
P1dB: +21 dBm (TYP.)
Description
The AM-151 amplifier uses a coupler feedback design with high
intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback
minimized noise figure and DC current in a high intercept
amplifier. This amplifier is packaged a TO-8 package. Due to
the internal power dissipation, the thermal rise is minimized.
The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to
remove heat from under the package. AM-151 is ideally suited
for use where a high intercept high reliability amplifier is
required.
