Description
The RA46 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability. This two stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays impressive performance characteristics over a broadband frequency range. Both TO-8B and Surface Mount packages are hermetically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screen-
ing is available. An SMA connectorized self assembly kit is also
available for the TO-8B module.
