GaAs FET AMPLIFIER
Description
The PA512 0.5 watt RF power amplifier is a discrete
hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing
processes for accurate performance and high reliability.
This 2 stage GaAs FET transistor design uses a feedback
loop for flat broadband performance. An active DC biasing
network insures temperature-stable performance.
MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.
