H Avantek Products Voltage-Controlled AGC Amplifier 10 to 1000 MHz Technical Data AGC-1053 Features Description Pin Configuration • Frequency Range: 10 to 1000␣MHz The AGC-1053 combines three MMIC RF amplifiers with 22 dB (typ) gain, and PIN diodes with 0 to +5 VDC control voltage for gain control. The 1053 has blocking capacitors which couple the RF signal through the amplifier, and bypass capacitors to filter the bias voltage line.
