and high reliability. The single stage silicon bipolar
transistor feedback amplifier design displays
impressive performance over a broadband
frequency range. An active DC biasing network is
used for temperature-stable performance, in addition
to an RF Choke, used for power supply decoupling.
Both TO-8 and surface mount packages are hermeti-
cally sealed, and MIL-STD-883 environmental
screening is available.
