CA88

The CA88 is a kind of cascadable amplifier which possesses the specifications of (1)frequency: 2-500MHz(typical)/5-500MHz(0 to 50°C)/5-500MHz(-54 to +85°C)(following other specifications are listed in this order); (2)small signal gain: 18.7dB/18.0dB/17.5 dB; (3)gain flatness ±0.3dB/±0.5dB/±0.7dB; (4)reverse isolation: 19dB; (5)CA88 noise figum (maX ): 6.5dB/67.5dB/8.0dB; (6)power output @ 1dB comp.: 20.5dBm/19.5dBm/19.0dbm; (7)Ip3: +30dBm; (8)Ip2: +38dBm; (9)second order hannonic IP: +41dBm; (10)VSWR input/output: (1.5:1/1.5:1)/ (1.8:1 /1.8:1)/(2.0:1 /2.0:1); (11)DC current @5 volts: 79mA/83mA/87mA(* Measured in a 50-ohm system at +5 Vdc Nominal. Subject to change without notice.).

The features of CA88 can be summarized as (1)high third order I.P.: +30dBm(TYP.); (2)high output power:+20.5dBm(typ); (3)high gain: 18.7dB(typ).

The absolute maximum ratings of CA88 are (1)storage temperature: -62°C to +125°C; (2)Max. case temperature: 125°C; (3)Max. DC voltage: +17V; (4)Max. continuous RF input power: +13dBm; (5)Max. short term RF input power (1 minute max.): 100mW; (6)Max. peak power (3 sec max.): 0.5W; (7)"S"Series burn-in temperature (case): 125°C.
