Description
The A515 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design,
which uses thin film manufacturing processes for
accurate performance and high reliability. This 2
stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier design
displays impressive performance characteristics
over a broadband frequency range. An active DC
biasing network insures temperature-stable perform-
ance. Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are
hermetically sealed,
and
M IL-STD-883
environmental screening is available.
