n 2.7 dB Typical Low Noise
Description
M/A-COM’s AM-182 is a high gain 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-182 is ideally
suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability
amplifier is required.
