A18-1

Cascadable Amplifier 10 to 1000 MHz Features • • • • HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE HIGH OUTPUT POWER: +16 dBm (TYP.) HIGH THIRD ORDER I.P.: +30 dBM (TYP.) LOW NOISE: 3.8 dB (TYP.) A18-1 / SMA18-1 V3 Product Image Description The A18-1 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This single stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays impressive performance characteristics over a broadband frequency range. An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling. Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
