Description

M/A-COM’s AM-153 is a coupler feedback amplifier with
low noise figure. The use of coupler feedback minimizes
noise figure and current in a high intercept amplifier. This
amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. This unique
design features low noise figure over a wide bandwidth.
AM-153 is ideally suited for use where a low noise,
wideband, high reliability amplifier is required.
