MOTOROLA RF DEVICE DATA

The RF Line

Wideband Linear Amplifiers

. . . designed for amplifier applications in 50 ohm systems requiring wide

bandwidth, low noise and low–distortion. This hybrid provides excellent gain

stability with temperature and linear amplification as a result of the push–pull

circuit design.
