Description
The RA76 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses
thin film manufacturing processes for consistent performance
and high reliability.
This 3 stage bipolar transistor feedback amplifier design displays
impressive performance over a broadband frequency range. An
active DC biasing network insures temperature-stable
performance.
Both TO-8B and Surface Mount packages are hermetically
sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
