Description
The A26 RF amplifier is a discrete hybrid design, which uses
thin film manufacturing processes for consistent performance
and high reliability.
This 2 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 her-
metically sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is
available.
