Description

The AM-151 amplifier uses a coupler feedback design with high

intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback

minimized noise figure and DC current in a high intercept

amplifier. This amplifier is packaged a TO-8 package. Due to

the internal power dissipation, the thermal rise is minimized.

The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to

remove heat from under the package. AM-151 is ideally suited

for use where a high intercept high reliability amplifier is

required.
