SMA101

RF Amplifiers Overview

The SMA101 is a discrete hybrid RF amplifier designed for general-purpose applications within the 5 MHz to 100 MHz frequency range. It features a push-pull architecture utilizing thin film manufacturing processes to ensure accurate performance and high reliability. The component provides a typical gain of 17 dB with a noise figure of 3.0 dB, supporting a maximum input power of 13 dBm in continuous wave operation. Operating at a standard 50 Ω impedance, it functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -54 °C to +85 °C. This narrow-band medium-power device is suitable for demanding industrial, scientific, and medical environments requiring stable signal amplification.
