Description
The PPA-2123 is a multistage, low-
noise, high-gain amplifier utilizing
discrete GaAs FETs on a thin-film
substrate. The low input/output
VSWR is maintained by reactive
circuits. The RF signal is trans-
former-coupled at the input (at DC
ground) and capacitively-coupled
at the output. The PPA-2123 is
available in a hermetically sealed
PPA-48 (.4 in. x .8 in.) surface
mount package.
