CRA36

The CRA36 RF amplifier is designed as the discrete hybrid which uses thin film manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high reliability.This two stage GaAs FET feedback amplifier design displays impressive performance characteristics over a brosdband frequency range.Both TO-8B and surface mount packages are hermetically sealed and MIL-STD-883 environmental screening is available.Features of the CRA36 are:(1)high gain-three stages:24.0 dB(typ.);(2)medium output level:+13.0 dBm(typ.);(3)low VSWR:1.4:1(typ.).

The absolute maximum ratings of the CRA36 can be summarized as:(1)storage temperature:-62 to +125;(2)case temperature:+125;(3)DC voltage:+17 V;(4)continuous input power:+13 dBm;(5)short term input power(1 minute max.):50 mW;(6)peak power:0.5 W;(7)"S" series burn-in temperature(case): +125.

The electrical specifictions of CRA36 can be summarized as(25):(1)frequency:50-2100 MHz;(2)small signal gain(min):24.0 dB;(3)gain flatness(max):+/-0.5 dB;(4)reverse isolation:40 dB;(5)noise figure(max):5.5 dB;(6)power output @ 1 dB comp.(min):13.0 dBm;(7)second order harmonic IP:+40 dBm;(8)DC current @ 5 volts(max):76 mA.
