Description

M/A-COM’s AM-184 is a feedback amplifier with high
intercept and compression points. This amplifier is
packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power
dissipation the thermal rise should be minimized. The
ground plane on the PC board should be configured to
remove heat from under the package. AM-184 is ideally
suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability
amplifier is required.
