AH101
Product Description
The AH101 is a medium power gain block that
offers excellent dynamic range in a low cost surface mount package. The combination of a single supply voltage and an unconditionally stable internally matched device, makes it ideal for
both narrow band and broadband applications.
Superior thermal design allows the product to
achieve +45 dBm OIP3 performance at a
mounting temperature of +85°C with an associated MTBF of >100 years

Test conditions unless otherwise noted.
1.T = 25°C, Vdd = 9.0 V, Frequency = 800 MHz, 50 ohm system.
2. OIP3 measured with two tones at an output power of 8 dBm/tone separated by 10 MHz.The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the OIP3 using a 2:1 slope rule.
3. MTBF calculated with channel temperature at 155˚C.
