Fully Hermetic Package (AM-162, AMS-162)
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 TO-8-1
package, a surface mount package and a connectorized
version. 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.
