AM-191 Low Noise Amplifier 100 - 600 MHz Rev. V3 Features FP-3 • 2.5 dB Typical Midband Noise Figure • +23 dBm Typical 1 dB Compression Point • +32 dBm Typical Third Order Intercept Description M/A-COM’s AM-191 is a coupler feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback minimizes noise figure and current in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a flatpack. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-191 is ideally suited for use where a low noise, high reliability amplifier is required.
