Description

The A66-1 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

hermetically

sealed,

and

MIL-STD-883

environmental screening is available.
