Description

The A1212 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses

thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and

high reliability.

This feedback amplifier design uses 2 GaAs FET transistors

In parallel, and displays impressive performance

characteristics over a broadband frequency range.

An RF choke is used for DC power supply decoupling.

Both TO-8 and Surface Mount packages are hermetically

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

.
