General Description
The AH101-G is a medium power gain block that offers
excellent dynamic range in a low-cost surface mount
package. The combination of a single supply voltage
and an internally matched device makes it ideal for both
narrow and broadband applications. Only dc blocking
and bypass capacitors as well as an RF choke are
required for operation.
Superior thermal design allows the product to achieve
+46 dBm IP3 performance at a mounting temperature of
+85°C with an associated MTTF of greater than 1000
years.
This broadband amplifier uses a high reliability GaAs
MESFET technology and is targeted for applications
where high linearity is required. The AH101-G is
available in the environmentally-friendly green/RoHS-
compliant SOT-89 package.

Notes:
1. See Evaluation Board PCB Information for material and stack-up.
2. R1 (0
Ω jumper) may be replaced with copper trace in the target application layout.
3. All components are 0603 size unless stated on the schematic.
4. The amplifier should be connected directly to a +9 V regulator; no dropping resistor is required.
5. If no DC signal is present at the input (pin 1), C1 can be removed. The gate (input pin) is internally grounded in the amplifier.
6. For higher frequencies of operation, use a lower value L2 inductor.
