Description
M/A-COM’s AM-162 is a coupler feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. The use of coupler feedback minimizes Noise figure and current in a high intercept amplifier. This amplifier is packaged in a flatpack with flanges. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-162 are ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required.
Features
■ 1.1 dB Typical Low Noise Figure @ 50 MHz
■ +15 dBm Typical High Output Power @ 50 MHz
■ +32 dBm Typical Third Order Intercept @ 50 MHz
■ Fully Hermetic Package (AM-162, AMS-162)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8309 is a complete IF limiting Amplifier, providing both an accurate logarithmic (decibel) measure of the input signal (the RSSI function) over a dynamic range of 100 dB, and a programmable limiter output, useful from 5 MHz to 500 MHz.
It is easy to use, requiring few external components. A single supply voltage of +2.7 V to +6.5 V at 16 mA is needed, corresponding to a power consumption of under 50 mW at 3 V, plus the limiter bias current, determined by the application and typically 2 mA, providing a limiter gain of 100 dB when using 200 Ω loads. A CMOS-compatible control interface can enable the AD8309 within about 500 ns and disable it to a standby current of under 1 µA.
The six cascaded amplifier/limiter cells in the main path have a small signal gain of 12.04 dB (×4), with a –3 dB bandwidth of 850 MHz, providing a total gain of 72 dB. The programmable output stage provides a further 18 dB of gain. The input is fully differential and presents a moderately high impedance (1 kΩ in parallel with 2.5 pF). The input-referred Noise-spectral-density, when driven from a terminated 50 Ω, source is 1.28 nV/√Hz, equivalent to a Noise figure of 3 dB. The sensitivity of the AD8309 can be raised by using an input matching network.
Each of the main gain cells includes a full-wave detector. An additional four detectors, driven by a broadband attenuator, are used to extend the top end of the dynamic range by over 48 dB.

The AD8306 is a complete IF limiting Amplifier, providing both an accurate logarithmic (decibel) measure of the input signal (the RSSI function) over a dynamic range of 100 dB, and a programmable limiter output, useful from 5 MHz to 400 MHz.
It is easy to use, requiring few external components. A single supply voltage of +2.7 V to +6.5 V at 16 mA is needed, corresponding to a power consumption of under 50 mW at 3 V, plus the limiter bias current, determined by the application and typically 2 mA, providing a limiter gain of 90 dB when using 200 Ω loads.
