Description
UTO—TO-8T
• Frequency Range: 5 to
500MHz
The 509 Series is a wideband
single stage high power bipolar RF
amplifier using thin-film construc-
tion with two transistors in
parallel for better RF and thermal
performance. Resistive feedback
and active bias provide for
temperature compensation and
increased immunity to bias
voltage variations. Blocking
capacitors couple the RF through
the amplifier. The 509 Series
amplifiers are available in three
packages: the surface mount
PlanarPak PP-38 (.375 in. x
.375in.) case, the TO-8 hermetic
case and the connectorized TC-1
case.
