Wideband Linear Amplifier

Designed for amplifier applications in 50 to 100 ohm systems requiring wide

bandwidth, low noise and low distortion. This hybrid provides excellent gain

stability with temperature and linear amplification as a result of the push–pull

circuit design.

• Specified Characteristics at VCC = 24 V, TC = 25°C:

Frequency Range — 0.35 to 400 MHz

Output Power — 1000 mW Typ @ 1 dB Compression, f = 200 MHz

Power Gain — 18.5 dB Typ @ f = 50 MHz

PEP — 1000 mW Typ @ – 32 dB IMD, f = 200 MHz

Noise Figure — 5 dB Typ @ f = 200 MHz

ITO — 47 dBm Typ @ f = 150 MHz

• All Gold Metallization for Improved Reliability

• Unconditional Stability Under All Load Conditions
