Description

The PA2003 is a discrete hybrid design, which uses thick film

solder manufacturing processes for accurate performance and high

reliability.

This 2 stage GaAS FET transistor design uses feedback loops for

flat broadband linear performance, with low noise figure.

The model is particularly suited for power driver applications used

in the base station & repeater infrastructure, and for commercial &

military radios.
