This circuit uses a darlington pair topology with resistive
feedback for broadband performance as well as stability
over its entire temperature range. Internally matched to
50 ohm impedance, the SGA-2363 requires only DC
blocking and bypass capacitors for external components.

best performance to reduce lead
inductance as close to ground leads as
possible.

an external DC blocking capacitor
chosen for the frequency of operation.
