Typical Performance Data Legend +25 ºC +85 ºC - - - - - - -55 ºC *Decoupling Impedance is 1 KOhm The CZ846X Series Amplifiers are designed for application in 50 ohm systems. Three external capacitors and a decoupling impedance are required. The decoupling impedance must be large in comparison to the 50 ohm load to minimize gain reduction. Data sheet curves are based on the noted decoupling impedance. The external capacitors determine the low frequency response of the Amplifier. Schematic Diagram CZ Series Amp The CZ846X Series Amplifiers can be cascaded in series of two or more units without oscillation problems. +Vcc Decoupling Impedance 50 Ohm Input 50 Ohm Output Spectrum Microwave · 2144 Franklin Drive N.E. · Palm Bay, Florida 32905 · PH (888) 553-7531 · Fax (888) 553-7532 Rev. 5/30/08 www.SpectrumMicrowave.com Spectrum Microwave · 2707 Black Lake Place · Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19154 · PH (215) 464-4000 · Fax (215) 464-4001
