Description The Filtronic LMA183 is a GaAs monolithic distributive amplifier which operates from 2 to 18GHz. This LMA183 amplifier produces a typical gain of 7.5dB and a noise figure of less than 5.5dB. The LMA183 is suitable for gain block, low noise and driver amplifier applications. DC decoupled output RF port. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
