Description

The A180 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses

thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and

high reliability.

This single 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-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically

sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available

.
