Description
M/A-COM’s AM-146 is a coupler feedback amplifier
with high intercept and compression points. The use
of coupler feedback minimizes current in a high
intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a
flatpack with flanges. Due to the metal flatpack the
thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC
board should be configured to remove heat from
under the package. AM-146 is ideally suited for use
where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is
required.
