Description
M/A-COM’s AM-162 is a coupler feedback amplifier with
high intercept and compression points. The use of coupler
feedback minimizes noise figure and current in a high
intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a flatpack
with flanges. Due to the internal power dissipation the
thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board
should be configured to remove heat from under the
package. AM-162 are ideally suited for use where a high
intercept, high reliability amplifier is required.
