Product Description

The RF2318 is a broadband general purpose, low cost high linearity RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily cascadable 75Ω gain block. The gain flatness of better than 1.0dB from 5MHz to 1000MHz, and the high linearity, make this part ideal for cable TV applications.
