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 recponse of the Amplifier. The CZ82X0 Series Amplifiers can be cascaded in series of two or more units without oscillation problems.
